Get Konnected! 17th Anniversary Event

The Legends, Leaders, Pioneers, and Allies Award event is a vital celebration as it highlights the extraordinary contributions of women and marginalized groups at a time when their rights and identities are under siege.

​

 

In an era marked by divisive rhetoric and systemic attacks on women, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ individuals, and religious minorities, this event serves as a powerful reminder that America’s greatest strength lies in its diversity.

​

 

By honoring those who have broken barriers and championed inclusivity, we reaffirm our commitment to building a more equitable society, demonstrating that we are indeed stronger together when we unite to uplift and support one another.
