Our mission at the San Jacinto Valley Women's Conference is to create a positive, empowering experience for women in our valley and surrounding communities while raising funds through scholarships to help local women achieve their educational goals.
The conference is a dynamic day of engaging speakers and meaningful networking opportunities, designed to educate, motivate, and inspire women to reach their full potential.
Our History
The San Jacinto Valley Women's Conference has a vibrant, inspiring history. In 2010, a group of women united around a common goal: to create a conference by women, for women, that would empower and support the San Jacinto Valley and surrounding region. Our founder, Jerri Randrup, then a hospital marketing executive, sparked the vision and encouraged members of the Hemet–San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce's Women in Business Committee to take on the challenge of building something new and much needed in the community. Twelve determined women took the call and worked together to host the first Conference in February 2012. In addition to Jerri Randrup, the founding members included Brenda Kratz, Carla Jones, Dee Cozart, Dolores Badillo, Irma Ramos, Kathleen Osborne, Linda Greilich, Myrna Torres, Nicole Moore, Teresa Spraggs, and Therese Steadman.
What began as an idea soon grew into a powerful tradition. The San Jacinto Valley Women's Conference quickly became an annual, sold-out event, celebrated for its energy, purpose, and impact. Beyond the Conference itself, the organization has since evolved into a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to uplifting women in the region. Through its scholarship program, the Conference proudly supports local women pursuing higher education or technical training, continuing its mission to inspire, empower, and invest in the community's future.
The Women's Conference launched in 2012 with the theme "The Many Hats We Wear."
