B.R.I.D.G.E. — Building, Respect, Inclusivity, Determination, Growth, Equity
Join us at the seventh annual Women of Color Summit (WOC) with more than 300 women and allies across New York State and various regions for a two day in-person professional development conference. WOC will be held in Niagara Falls, NY, on June 3-4, 2026. Additionally, the series will continue with two virtual sessions on Thursday, July 16th and July 23rd. This year’s theme: B.R.I.D.G.E. — Connecting Voices, Cultivating Leaders, Advancing Equity.
This is a work-related professional development opportunity, and we encourage organizations to invest in their employees and allow them to attend.
This summit creates pathways for women of color to cross from potential to power. Through Building Respect, fostering Inclusivity, embracing Determination, catalyzing Growth, and championing Equity, we construct connections that elevate careers, amplify voices, and dismantle barriers. This gathering serves as a foundation, as a place to pause, as a time of connectivity and as a crossing point where emerging leaders find mentorship, established professionals deepen impact, and allies learn to build alongside us. Together, we don't just cross bridges; we build and become them.
