This committee produces the annual inspirational networking breakfast in honor of International Women?s Day and Women?s History Month in partnership with the City of Santa Monica?s Commission on the Status of Women. This motivational and fun event gathers the top women business leaders from and  around Santa Monica. Each year, ?Owlies? are chosen in relation to the theme of International Women?s Day and for their commitment to the community.
