About this conference
The UNCF Maya Angelou Women Who Lead Luncheon celebrates the excellence and leadership of distinguished women who are paving the way for the next generation. This signature fundraising event for UNCF is named in honor of our beloved friend and volunteer, Dr. Maya Angelou. The day begins at 10 a.m. with shopping, mimosas, live music, and red carpet photos, leading into an elegant 12 p.m. luncheon featuring an inspiring program, the prestigious Maya Angelou Women Who Lead Award presentation, and the exciting Hatitude! competition. During the luncheon, we will celebrate and honor extraordinary women who have made a significant impact locally, statewide, and nationally. Your support is more critical than ever to help UNCF, our member colleges and universities, and the students we serve achieve their dreams. Join us for a day of elegance, empowerment, and celebration, all in support of education and opportunity.
