*What is a Power Hour? A Power Hour session is when women get together to connect and learn more about topics they are passionate about. To host a Power Hour, simply choose a topic and date. We can help you invite others. You don't have to be an expert or a facilitator. You just have to be someone who wants to share ideas!

*What is a Women’s Work Session? A Women’s Work Session is a workplace opportunity to learn more about the Maine Women’s Fund. To host a Women’s Work Session, simply let us know that you would like to have a session at your work place and Eli will come to talk to your organization about the Maine Women’s Fund and the work that the Fund is doing.
