United Way’s Women United affinity group proudly presents the 10th annual Women of Influence Summit, a milestone gathering celebrating a decade of leadership, generosity, and collective action. Taking place at the iconic Ford Field, the 2026 summit will unite business owners, executives, thought leaders, and community and corporate partners from across southeast Michigan for a powerful day of connection and inspiration.

Since its inception, the Women of Influence Summit has raised more than $2 million in support of local children and families, while empowering thousands of women through high-impact networking, inspiring keynote speakers, and meaningful opportunities to Give, Advocate, and Volunteer. The 2026 summit honors the rich legacy of women across our community, while looking ahead to the continued work needed to strengthen women, families, and communities across the region.

Attendees will hear from influential women who are making a real difference in southeast Michigan and experience firsthand the power of coming together to create lasting change.

Why This Matters:

Community Commitment: Walker-Miller Energy Services is the Presenting Sponsor, reinforcing its dedication to investing in people and the communities it serves.

A Landmark Setting: Hosting the summit at Ford Field reflects the event’s growth, influence, and elevated regional presence.

A Critical Moment: As the summit marks its 10th year, it continues to provide vital support at a time when the needs of local families are increasing.

Join us as we celebrate ten years of impact—and inspire the next decade of progress.
