Annual Event

Making Herstory: Celebrating 50 Years and Counting

This year marks our 50th anniversary, and we have so many reasons to celebrate.

Since our founding in 1971, the National Partnership has had one mission: to create a world where all women and families have the freedom, opportunity and dignity to live to our fullest potential. From paid family and medical leave, fair pay, and pregnancy discrimination, to affordable, quality health care, and reproductive and maternal health, we've helped to lead the fight for women's health and economic justice. While we still have a long way to go, we're proud of the progress we've made. And we are ready to tackle the next 50 years.

As we look toward the next 50 years of the National Partnership, we also mark major changes within our organization. After seventeen years as the President of the National Partnership, Debra Ness announced she will be stepping down. We are so grateful for her invaluable leadership in advancing health and economic policies that improve all women's lives, which will continue to leave an indelible mark on our organization and guide our future work.

Join us virtually on October 14, 2021. Together, we are Making Herstory!
