Such powerful opening remarks from Senator Robyn Kennedy at MAWOCC’s Annual Meeting!

In moments of uncertainty, thank you Senator Kennedy for your words that remind us why MAWOCC exists—because women, especially women of color, continue to organize, lead, and choose community over fear. Resilience, solidarity, and responsibility aren’t optional—they’re how we move forward, together.

We’re deeply grateful to Congressman Jim McGovern for his continued leadership and partnership in advancing equity and opportunity.

Honoring him with MAWOCC’s 2026 Game Changer Award was a privilege, recognizing his unwavering commitment to leadership, mentorship, and workforce development for women and girls of color. This moment reflects the shared values and collective work that move our communities forward.

Grateful to Worcester Magazine (thank you Margaret Smith) for capturing the people who make MAWOCC what it is — our members, allies, and community coming together in celebration, reflection, and joy at our Annual Meeting.
