The Women in Leadership Forum, hosted annually by Giving Children Hope, brings together purpose-driven women shaping their communities, careers, and families. More than a luncheon, it’s a space to connect, share stories, discover mentors, and inspire one another across generations and industries — celebrating the power of women lifting each other up.
The next Forum takes place April 8, 2026, from 10:30 AM to 1 PM at the Delhi Center in Santa Ana, with sponsorship and tickets available soon.
