Sept 15 - Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mark your calendar for September 15, 2012. Plan to travel to Milwaukee for a day of celebration and learning which will honor the achievements of a great institution. Alverno College has provided higher education to women for 125 years. Participants will celebrate 45 years of remarkable advancement by women through the efforts of activists and educators. .

The daylong event will tell the history of the second wave with speakers and panels. Plans are to feature particularly the work done by Midwest feminists in the employment area and the efforts to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. The event will end with a dinner where women’s movement participants especially those in Wisconsin and the Midwest will be honored.

Alverno faculty, students and leaders will be fully engaged in developing the program for all events.

This event will be held just 7 weeks before the 2012 election so there will also be an emphasis on civic participation and the importance of women’s voting and full participation in the public square.

We will honor Sr. Joel, the current President of Alverno, Mary Meehan, other founders of NOW and other feminist organizations. We are reaching across the Midwest to make sure this is a real reunion and a recruiting conference to enhance the membership and participation in Veteran Feminists.

Board members Mary Ann Lupa, Kathy Rand , Mary Jean Collins and VFA's co - president, Sheila Tobias are providing leadership for the event. Mary Ann and Mary Jean are also graduates of Alverno College.

Information about the specifics of the event will be available soon.
