Attorney General Lynn Fitch will host the Inaugural Mississippi Women’s Summit on Aug. 19 at the Oxford Conference Center.

The free event will include several panels of women leaders from all over Mississippi who will share their experiences as women running businesses and charitable organizations or as women in public service, law enforcement and the military. It will also feature a vendor area of women-owned businesses from across Mississippi.

“We are going to celebrate the strength and potential of Mississippi women to lead confidently, break barriers, and drive positive change in their communities and across our great State,” Fitch said.

Panelists include Sarah Thomas, the first woman referee for the National Football Leagues; Paula Scanlan, former Collegiate swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania and advocate for female-based rights; and Rachel Duffy, host of FOX & Friends Weekend.

While the event is free, registration is required. Visit https://attorneygenerallynnfitch.com/womenssummit/.
