The Junior League of St. Joseph invites you to join us for the 4th Annual St. Joseph Women’s Forum on Saturday, March 6, 2027, at the Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art!
Now in its fourth year, the Women’s Forum brings together women from across our community for a day of meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and genuine connection. Rooted in our mission to Cultivate. Connect. Engage., this event is about more than personal growth. It’s about creating connections, sharing perspectives, and empowering women to take what they’ve learned beyond the room to make a lasting impact in our community.
This year’s theme, “She Did It Anyway,” is a celebration of women who refuse to let obstacles define what’s possible. We’ve all experienced moments of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the pressure of expectations. Sometimes, the biggest thing standing between us and our goals is our own belief in what we’re capable of. Together, we’ll explore those challenges, hear from women who have faced them, and discover what can happen when we choose to move forward anyway.
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Kasi Lacey, author of Your Confidence Comeback, as our keynote speaker. We’ll also be joined by Rachel Keller, host of the Female Fridays podcast, who will moderate a panel discussion featuring women sharing their personal experiences of navigating challenges, overcoming obstacles, and pursuing their goals.
We hope you’ll join us for a day of connection, conversation, and encouragement!

Whether you’re working toward a big goal, navigating a new chapter, or simply looking to connect with other women in our community, there’s a place for you at the Women’s Forum.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is believe in ourselves enough to try anyway.
We can’t wait to see you there!

Keynote Speaker
Dr. Kasi Lacey
Dr. Kasi Lacey is an organizational psychologist, former C-suite executive, and keynote speaker who helps women lead with confidence, build trust that holds under pressure, and make bold decisions that move their careers and organizations forward. With 15+ years of executive and higher education leadership, she has led strategic planning and organizational development initiatives, managed large teams and multimillion-dollar budgets, and built partnerships across government and community relations to drive sustainable growth and impact.
Her journey gives her a practical, inside-out understanding of what it takes for women to earn a seat at the table, keep it, and use their influence well. She knows firsthand how trust shapes decision-making, risk, and performance, and how women can use it as a powerful leadership advantage.
Her work sits at the intersection of psychology, leadership, and business strategy. She translates complex human dynamics into practical frameworks women can use right away to strengthen trust, speak up with clarity, and lead with impact. Audiences leave energized, equipped, and ready to act.
