It’s almost here!

 Boots to Briefcases is proud to sponsor The "Women Warriors' Luncheon" on March 26 

• At the Quonset Officer's Club
• Located at 200 LT James Brown Road in North Kingstown. 

This event aims to honor female veterans who have made significant contributions in public service, education, Native American and federal service. The 2026 Women Warriors Award recipients are:  Crystel Arel (Newport PD), Joanne Barrett (VA), Raven Aldaco (RIC SVO) and Cheryl Dupris (Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe).

The Women Warriors Luncheon is a celebration of strength, leadership, and resilience.

This inspiring gathering brings together women from across industries and communities to connect, share stories, and recognize the courage it takes to lead in business, in life, and in service to others.  The luncheon creates space for meaningful conversation, authentic connection, and the honoring of women who rise, support one another, and move forward with purpose.

Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated luncheon experience alongside powerful networking opportunities, sponsor showcases, and moments of recognition that highlight the impact women are making every day. Whether you attend as a professional, entrepreneur, advocate, or ally, the Women Warriors Luncheon is designed to leave you energized, encouraged, and connected. This is more than a meal — it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and stand together in strength.

We are also excited to recognize Judge Frank Caprio, a military veteran whose advocacy for women is unparalleled. Join us in celebrating these remarkable individuals and their impactful work.
