Overview
Women@NJPAC’s Gathering of Givers 2026: Escaping Expectations will be a day dedicated to examining the often contradictory standards women are expected to meet — at work, at home, in public and in private. Together, we’ll explore how women can create lives of genuine meaning without deferring to the straitjacket of societal expectations. We’ll emerge renewed, centered, connected, and ready to turn our authentic passions into powerful impact.
