2027 Women of Influence Summit
The Women of Influence Summit is United Way for Southeastern Michigan’s largest community convening and fundraiser, drawing sold-out crowds of more than 1,000 attendees year after year. This event has raised funds to support causes that support women and children across our region, including early childhood development, accessible childcare, literacy, education and youth opportunity programs.
In 2027, we'll celebrate our 11th annual summit! During the event's first 10 years, we raised more than $2.5 million to support children, women, families and caregivers throughout our community.
This event has featured local and national women of influence, including Sonia Manzano (”Maria” on Sesame Street), former Essence Magazine Editor Susan L. Taylor, American writer Jacqueline Woodson, Scholastic Books author and VP Andrea Davis Pinkney and former WNBA President Donna Orender.
