The Officer Women's Leadership Symposium (OWLS) convenes experts, thought leaders, and innovators with members of the military, government, and veteran community to explore emerging trends, strengthen skills, and transform observations into actionable insights to lead positive change.
Our 2026 theme - Learn - Connect - Act - emphasizes our mission to build skills, grow networks within our community, and take action together.
