We're excited to extend to you a special invitation to an inspiring event that promises to be both enlightening and empowering—our YCUP PDX Women of Impact on May 19th, 2026, at The Evergreen, from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

Women of Impact is proudly presented in partnership with Global Women's Leadership Network (GWLN) Portland/Vancouver Sister Society, highlighting our shared commitment to advancing and amplifying women leaders in our industry.

This unique gathering will bring together four remarkable local women industry leaders who will share their professional journeys, challenges, and triumphs. It is a rare opportunity to gain insights from the experiences of these trailblazers and to understand the paths they have carved in their respective fields.

Our Panelists:

Erin Moore, VP of Government Relations at OnPoint Community Credit Union
Heather Friend, Chief Operating Officer at Columbia Credit Union
Neah LaFuente, AVP of Internal Communications and Community Engagement at Rivermark Community Credit Union
Megan Snyder, SVP - Chief Impact Officer at Unitus Community Credit Union

The evening will not only consist of panel discussions but will also provide a chance for you to engage directly with these leaders. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and seek advice, making this an invaluable opportunity for anyone looking to learn from the best and be inspired.

In alignment with the event's mission to uplift and support women, we will also be fundraising for A Village for One, a nonprofit working to restore safety, health and hope for youth impacted by commercial sexual exploitation through healing-centered programs and community advocacy.

Whether you are just starting your career, looking to make a change, or simply interested in hearing the stories of successful women leaders, this event promises to offer something for everyone. Refreshments will be provided, and there will also be time to network with other attendees and speakers.
