NPWH is delighted to invite you to a special in-person networking event at Chief in Washington, DC. Join us for an inspiring evening focused on breaking the silence around menopause and connecting with the vibrant local NPWH community. This event offers WHNP members a unique opportunity to network with one another and meet executive women from across the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) region. Strengthen your professional connections, build new relationships, and be part of an empowering conversation. The evening will feature a screening of The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause — the first documentary to spotlight the often overlooked and marginalized health crisis affecting millions of women during midlife. Together, we will raise awareness, share experiences, and champion better care for women navigating menopause.
