Kansas City, MO — Women’s Employment Network (WEN) held its highly anticipated 2025 Annual Luncheon on Tuesday, April 22nd, at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center. For nearly four decades, WEN has been at the forefront of empowering women in the Kansas City area on their journey toward financial independence—and this year’s luncheon was a powerful celebration of progress, partnership, and purpose.
Prosperity Planning, a longtime supporter of WEN’s mission, sponsored the event and shared their table with other notable guests and proud WEN graduates. The event served as both a fundraiser and a tribute to the women whose success stories are at the heart of WEN’s work.
This year's event brought together hundreds of supporters, including corporate leaders, community champions, WEN alumnae, and key partners, all gathered to honor the women whose courage and determination are transforming lives. The luncheon spotlighted “dynamic duos”—client and mentor partnerships—that exemplify the power of connection and collaboration in helping women achieve economic self-sufficiency.
“WEN isn’t just an organization—it’s a movement,” said one event speaker. “It’s about lifting women up, helping them reclaim their confidence, and connecting them to the resources and support they need to thrive.”
Proceeds from the luncheon support WEN’s wide-ranging programs, including career development, financial education, job readiness training, and personalized coaching—all designed to help women overcome barriers and achieve lasting stability.
