                Download Hi-ResThe virtual symposium, which starts on International Women’s Day as part of the Department of the Air Force’s recognition of Women’s History Month, is a professional development event focused on improving force readiness and building knowledge and understanding among Airmen, Guardians, and leaders across the DAF.

Topics will include learning about women, peace and security initiatives, leading change, fostering inclusion, military families, bystander empowerment, resilience, mental health, and other topics relevant to DAF women, their supervisors, coworkers, and allies today.

The symposium provides an opportunity for the Total Force to engage in conversations and discuss topics that affect DAF women at large. The event is designed to be interactive, providing participants an opportunity to listen and engage. The symposium is free, and all DAF civilian personnel and military members are permitted to participate during duty time if their individual supervisory authority approves such participation.
