Mission

About Us
The Jewish Women’s Conference of Southern California is presented by National Council of Jewish Women/Los Angeles. It is the brainchild of the three premier Jewish women’s organizations in Southern California: NCJW/LA, Hadassah Southern California, and NA’AMAT USA/Western Area. Their leaders, staff, and volunteers are collaborating to provide a forum for like-minded women.
Last year’s conference was a huge success.
Here are some results from our 2012 post-conference survey:
- 83% of respondents said that their overall experience was excellent or very good.
- 89% said the conference inspired them to take action.
- 95% felt motivated after attending the conference

“One of the things that strikes me is that the speakers were so approachable. In the end I thought that maybe it’s because we were all relating as Jewish women. And the “Jewish” was the uniting factor. I love that.”- Prissi Cohen
