ABWA Members! It’s that exciting time again! Planning is underway for the 42nd Annual Women Celebrating Women Weekend, and we can’t wait to celebrate the incredible women of ABWA together.
Our team has been working hard to create a fun-filled and inspiring weekend in Aggieland, and we hope your league will be part of the celebration!
We are NOT asking the LEAGUES for any Silent Auction Items - that will be handled by our amazing community and the hosting chapters, Leading Women Express Network and Bryan-College Station Charter Chapter.
We want to make this simple to travel for everyone … INSTEAD, we invite each league to consider supporting this special event through a sponsorship. By clicking the LINK, you will find the sponsorship form with all levels and benefits.
Your support helps us honor the outstanding achievements of ABWA women across the Houston Area Council.
Help us make this celebration truly unforgettable! If you, your company, or your business are interested in sponsoring, we’d love to have your support. Can’t sponsor? You can still make an impact by spreading the word! Sponsorship opportunities are open to anyone who wants to support Houston Area Council and Women Celebrating Women Luncheon. Let’s make this event extraordinary together!
