This week on Coffee Monday, we're giving listeners an exclusive preview of the 37th Annual Central California Women's Conference (CCWC), happening September 15, 2026, at the Fresno Convention Center.

Rae sits down with CCWC Board Members Danielle Bacon Parnagian and Jenny Pardini to discuss this year's theme, Beyond the Goal, and what attendees can expect from the region's largest women's event. From keynote speaker Mia Hamm—two-time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA Women's World Cup champion, and one of the most influential athletes of all time—to inspiring breakout sessions, networking opportunities, shopping, and community connections, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at a day designed to empower women in every stage of life.

The conversation also explores the impact CCWC continues to make throughout the Central Valley, including more than $1.75 million awarded to local nonprofit organizations serving women and children. Listeners will hear why this conference has remained a beloved tradition for 37 years and how this year's theme encourages women to look beyond accomplishments, embrace new opportunities, and continue pursuing what's possible.

Whether you're a longtime attendee or considering registering for the first time, this episode will leave you inspired and ready for an unforgettable day of connection, learning, and growth.

Registration is now open at CCWC-Fresno.org.

Grab your coffee and join us for a conversation about leadership, resilience, community, and what it means to go beyond the goal.
