In 1999 former Kanab City Mayor, Karen Alvey, suggested that a one-day women's event be organized. A group of volunteer women agreed that a day of workshops, education, and entertainment would be a great thing for this area. That year our keynote speaker was Mary Ellen Edmunds. Since that time we have featured speakers such as Jennifer Wall Steiner, Nadine Wimmer, Bruce and Marie Hafen, Linda & Richard Eyre, Chieko Okazaki, Richard Paul Evans, Ardeth G. Kapp, Michael McLean, Anita Stansfield, and Emily Nelson

From the begining, it has been important to the board to make this event multi-community. Advertsing takes place in all of Kane and Garflied Counties, as well as Northern Arizona, including Page, Fredonia, and Moccasin. Women of all ages, faiths, and backgrounds have been invited to participate.

Now in our 12th year, the Women's Forum in Kanab has grown in size and recognition. We hope that you will join us on March 19, 2011!
