Join Michigan Women Forward for WomanUp & Celebrate West Michigan — a powerful midday gathering that brings together the region’s most influential women and the people paying attention.
On June 9, 2026, at the JW Marriott in Grand Rapids, we’ll recognize leaders whose impact is felt across industries, organizations, and communities — and create space for the kind of conversations and connections that don’t happen anywhere else.
This isn’t just a celebration. It’s a room full of momentum.
What to Expect
Recognition of West Michigan women leading at the highest levels
A program that’s thoughtful, relevant, and worth your time
The chance to connect with leaders, decision-makers, and future collaborators
A break from your day that leaves you energized
Tickets
General Admission: $150
Join us as we celebrate our 2026 Woman of Achievement & Courage Award honorees, Sen. Winnie Brinks, Misti Stanton, and Kim Suarez and our 45 and under Women to Watch honorees: Rachel Gorman, Emily Henao, and Nancy Quero
