About this Event
Welcome to the Women Veteran & Military Service Members Summit!
Warrioress League 209 is honored to host San Joaquin County’s Inaugural Women Veterans & Military Service Members Summit on June 12, 2026, at the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton, California. This is more than an event—it’s a space where women veterans are seen, supported, and empowered to thrive beyond their service.
Women have served our nation with courage and distinction for generations, yet many continue to face unique challenges during and after military service. This summit brings together women veterans, active-duty service members, Guard and Reserve members, and community advocates for a day focused on empowerment, wellness, and access to resources that support women to thrive beyond their service.
