Current Conference
2027 Conference
We are excited to open registration for the 2027 Arizona Women in Higher Education (AWHE) Annual Conference, taking place April 7–9, 2027, at Casino Del Sol Resort in Tucson, Arizona! This year’s theme, “Sustainable Leadership: Cultivating People, Purpose, and Progress,” recognizes that organizational success and personal well-being are deeply connected. Together, we’ll explore how higher education professionals can cultivate healthy leaders, engaged teams, effective systems, and collaborative cultures that create positive and lasting impact. Join colleagues from across Arizona for three days of learning, connection, inspiration, and practical strategies you can take back to your role and institution. We look forward to welcoming you to Tucson!
