International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated every year on March 8, honoring women’s achievements and supporting the movement for gender equality.

Popular around the world, the day is now dedicated to recognizing women’s leadership at all levels and advancing gender equality as a civil rights and socioeconomic imperative.

International Women’s Day also continues to advocate for gender equality in business, cultivating discussions on its importance in thriving economies and communities.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, the Detroit Regional Chamber and Wellness Works are partnering with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to host their annual International Women’s Day celebration in alignment with the 2025 theme of #AccelerateAction.

During the event, business professionals and leaders will spend an afternoon of empowerment connecting with fellow leaders. They will gain insight into strategies, resources, and activities that positively impact women’s advancement, to support and elevate their implementation while helping women and girls make informed decisions about their health.

As in years past, the lunch event will feature a moderated discussion with a panel of women leaders. The panelists will share personal perspectives on their professional journeys, including how they balance their health and wellness. Attendees will also have access to experiential wellness hubs, exploring various facets of women’s health and wellness.
