Mark your calendars.

The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Greater Cleveland Chapter, is proud to announce the 35th Annual Women of Vision Awards & Scholarship Luncheon, taking place on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn Cleveland/Twinsburg.

This signature annual event is more than a luncheon—it is a celebration of extraordinary Black women whose leadership, service, and vision continue to shape our communities for the better.

For 35 years, Women of Vision has served as one of the chapter’s hallmark fundraising and recognition events, helping advance the mission of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women: advocating on behalf of Black women and girls through leadership development and gender equity in health, education, and economic empowerment.
