Women Powering Change began when peace and security activist/philanthropist Cynda Collins Arsenault recognized the incredible wealth of skills and passion of women who were leading change for/by/about women right here in Colorado. At the same time, she was also hearing from many women who felt disconnected from their own community and were not aware of the work being done locally and internationally to address and solve the issues we all face, e.g. social, political, cultural, etc. She hosted a garden party in 2013 to showcase the work being done and connect these two groups. The response was overwhelming. Outgrowing her backyard, she hosted a second event one year later at Denver’s Redline Art Gallery, with over 500 people in attendance.

Recognizing the power and potential of this event, other women stepped up to create a volunteer-led committee to carry Women Powering Change forward. Women Powering Change has been sustained through the dedicated efforts of volunteers committed to furthering this vision. Events in 2015, 2016, and 2019 each hosted almost 1,000 attendees. We are proud to host the sixth Women Powering Change on March 9, 2022.

Women Powering Change is also proud to be a founding partner of Week of Women Colorado with CBS4! Week of Women is a local initiative designed to celebrate women across Colorado and shine a light on issues impacting women in Colorado by highlighting an entire week of programming/events taking place across Colorado by various organizations and community groups. Week of Women will run from March 3-13, 2022, the week of International Women’s Day.
