Celebrate National Women’s History Month with SD CEO West at the “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope” Women In Networking (WIN) Breakfast on
Tuesday, March 8th, 2022, from 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM at The
Barn in Spearfish. Early networking and registration starts at 8:00 AM.
The 2022 Women’s History theme, “Providing Healing, Promoting Hope,” is both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided
both healing and hope throughout history.
Women as healers harken back to ancient times. Healing is the personal experience of transcending suffering and transforming it to wholeness. The gift of hope spreads light to the lives of others and reflects a belief in the unlimited possibilities of this
and future generations. Together, healing and hope are essential fuels for our dreams and our recovery.
This year, in particular, we are reminded of the importance of healers and caregivers who are helping to promote and sustain hope for the future.
Women have long advocated for compassionate treatments and new directions in public health and in women’s mental and physical health. Women have also historically led the way in mending divisions, healing wounds, and finding peaceful solutions. This timeless
work, in so many ways and in addition to so many other tasks, has helped countless individuals in our communities recover and follow their dreams.
The 2022 theme proudly honors those who, in both public and private life, provide healing and promote hope for the betterment of all.
Registration and payment by Thursday, March 3 at midnight is required. Seating is limited. We will not be accepting walk-ins.
Early Bird Ticket Price: $30 (Before March 3rd)
Regular Ticket Price: $35 (After March 3rd)
Any questions about WIN or the breakfast, please call Carissa Hauck at 605.642.6948.
