You Belong, Be A Part of Something Bigger
Our 100th Anniversary in 2019 was a grand event celebrating the achievements of women all over Florida. 2020 would have been our 100th Annual State Conference, coinciding with the 100th year of women voting but then Covid-19 struck, so it was an annual meeting but not a state conference. So we will be celebrating our 100th Annual State Conference this year, 2021.
