Taking place on March 29th, 2024, at Madison College, The Women’s Symposium will showcase the inspiring stories and remarkable achievements of women leaders within the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
This event will provide a platform and outlet for female Soldiers to discuss challenges, triumphs, and other unique experiences.
The key objectives of the symposium include empowering leaders, women, and allies to advocate for one another and reinforce the organization’s commitment to gender equality.
Lt Col Shannon Hellenbrand, Commander of the Recruiting and Retention Battalion, adds, “Women and diversity play pivotal roles in the Wisconsin National Guard, enriching its capabilities and strengthening its effectiveness as a military force. Embracing gender diversity and inclusivity not only reflects the values of equality and fairness but also enhances the Guard’s ability to fulfill its mission of protecting and serving the people of Wisconsin and the nation.”
