The Commission for Women of Bossier City is set to host its annual Inspiring Women Week (IWW) from February 28 to March 5, 2024. This week-long series of events aims to celebrate and empower women while shedding light on the Impact of an Aging Society in the Ark-La-Tex.

The kickoff breakfast on February 28, 2024, will feature Sgt. Tina Fruge as the keynote speaker. Fruge will delve into fraud alerts and current scams targeting seniors. The event will take place at Margaritaville’s Bird of Paradise Room, with doors opening at 7:00 a.m. and the program starting at 7:30 a.m.

The signature luncheon on March 5, 2024, at the Bossier Civic Center will continue the conversation on the Impact of an Aging Society. A distinguished guest panel, including The Honorable Judge Jeff Cox, Tamara Crane, Paulette Freeman, and Sandra Franks, will share insights and perspectives on this crucial topic.

This year, IWW will support two non-profit organizations dedicated to working with the aging population: The Bossier Council on Aging and The Bridge Alzheimer & Dementia Resource Center. Proceeds from the events will provide vital funds to support the initiatives of these organizations.

Individuals, businesses, and the general public are invited to participate by purchasing tickets, tables of eight, or sponsorships for both events.
