The Edmonds Waterfront Center looks forward to welcoming guests to the 8th Annual Edmonds International Women’s Day celebration from 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturday, March 7, at 220 Railroad Ave. in Edmonds.
This year’s theme, Give to Gain, highlights the power of generosity, collaboration and collective empowerment. When women thrive, we all rise.
New this year is a Nonprofit Exhibition Hall, showcasing local nonprofit organizations and providing attendees an opportunity to connect directly with community partners making a difference. The Exhibition Hall opens at 10:30 a.m., and is sponsored by the Community Foundation of Snohomish Community.
Guests will enjoy a catered brunch and keynote speaker Alexandria (Lexi) Lutz, founder of Opt-Inspire, Inc. and senior corporate counsel at Nordstrom. Her work in bridging digital safety, privacy, cybersecurity and community advocacy will set a powerful tone for the day, organizers said.
Following the keynote, registered attendees can attend two of four breakout workshops.

The program concludes with a closing keynote from Angelique Leone, vice president of the Community Foundation of Snohomish County. She will reflect on more than three decades of nonprofit leadership and philanthropy advising.
