Trust Women's 2020 Virtual Gala

2020 has been an incredible year of unprecedented challenges. From the COVID-19 pandemic to the policy chaos during the final year of Trump's first term, the slow stresses of quarantine and economic shut down have shown us that we need each other more than ever. This is no time to sit idly by.

Trust Women’s annual anniversary celebration is going virtual this year. While we'll miss seeing every one of you in person, we're excited to share an evening with great speakers who will inspire renewed energy for the hard work ahead. Here are the details:
