The Native Women's Leadership Forum is an annual event full of workshops, breakout sessions, keynote speakers, and panels. The forum is designed with our mission in mind and encourages participants to make a positive impact in their community. Each spring, the forum takes a new theme, and with it new educational and training opportunities. Feedback tells us that attendees leave feeling empowered, recharged, and renewed. In conjunction with the forum, we host a special luncheon to celebrate our Enduring Spirit Award honorees, a Youth Academy, and other affiliated programs each year. Anyone interested in issues impacting Indian Country and uplifting Native women leaders is welcome to attend. The forum is open to the public, and registrants come from many gender identities, cultural backgrounds, and professional affiliations.

Native Action Network will host our 19th Annual Native Women’s Leadership Forum September 14-15 at The Westin Seattle. Our theme is Champions of Our Future.

The Leadership Forum opens with registration at 8:00 a.m. on September 14, 2023; Workshops begin at 9:00 a.m. and run through 4:00 p.m. There will be a welcome reception at 5:00 p.m. for registrants. Buy your tickets here
