22nd Annual WOMEN OF LEADERSHIP & VISION BRUNCH
Nyack Center will host its annual Women of Leadership & Vision Brunch on Saturday, March 21, 2026. Nyack Center’s Women of Leadership and Vision Brunch is a cherished annual gathering that honors the women whose courage, brilliance, and steadfast commitment strengthen the fabric of our community. Each year, this catered brunch brings together neighbors, advocates, leaders, and friends to celebrate women who embody service, justice, creativity, and vision in Nyack and across Rockland County.
The event uplifts stories of women who lead with heart—women who build bridges, expand opportunity, and model what it means to care for community in transformative ways. Through heartfelt tributes & shared reflections the brunch becomes both a celebration and a call to action, reminding us that leadership is not only positional but deeply relational.
Proceeds from the event support Nyack Center’s mission to create connections across social, cultural, and economic boundaries and to improve the lives of all who call this community home. The Women of Leadership and Vision Brunch stands as a testament to the power of women’s leadership and the enduring impact of vision rooted in equity, compassion, and collective care.
