Join us to celebrate 55 years of the National Partnership on Tuesday, June 23!
As the centerpiece of our 55th anniversary year, the event will center around the theme of “Persistence and Progress” to capture both our pride in our past and our determination to keep moving our nation toward a more just and equitable future.
We hope you will be there with us as we recognize extraordinary changemakers and recommit ourselves to fighting for gender equity and racial justice.
Individual tickets will be available for purchase soon!
Since 1971, the National Partnership has driven landmark advances in gender equity, from securing family and medical leave to expanding access to reproductive health care and strengthening protections for working women and families.
This milestone evening will gather advocates, policymakers, philanthropists, and corporate leaders to honor changemakers who are building on this legacy.
Join us as we celebrate 55 years of progress, spotlight the urgent challenges that remain, and raise critical resources to fuel the next era of impact for gender equity and racial justice.
Honorees will be announced soon.
If you have questions, please email our team at eventinfo@nationalpartnership.org.
We look forward to seeing you on June 23!
