For the first time, the 45th annual National Association of Commissions for Women Conference and Empowerment Summit will be open to anyone. This will also be the first year the conference is in Indiana since the Indiana Commission for Women was created 12 years ago. The conference starts on Sunday, July 19 and goes through Thursday, July 23 for NACW board members, and Wednesday for non-members, at the Crowne Plaza in Indianapolis.
