Leadership development events
The Center hosts two annual events that bring together women and men from across Southern California to get informed, get inspired and take action.
The Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California
Annual leadership eventSince 2012, the Center for the Advancement of Women at Mount Saint Mary’s has annually produced The Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California™. The Report is the most comprehensive study focusing on issues and trends affecting the nearly 20 million women and girls who call California home.
The Report has helped inform public policy decisions and nonprofit funding priorities statewide. It serves as a vital policymaking and advocacy tool year-round for advocates in California and provides support for similar research being conducted across the state and around the country. We release new findings each March at a major public event that brings together women’s equity experts, community leaders and the general public.
