In anticipation of Women's Equality Day, CalPERS was proud to host hundreds of women and allies who attended our latest Pathways for Women conference.

Over two days, we heard from a broad range of speakers who shared their stories and insights on navigating the modern-day workforce — where women are needed now more than ever.

We hope the conversations you had and the networks you built were worthwhile, and we look forward to bringing this event back in 2027.

As we honor those who came before us, here's to the next generation already paving the path.
