Philadelphia 250 Women’s Committee Convenes Quarterly Meeting at Museum of the American Revolution to Advance Cultural Impact and Women’s Economic Opportunity
Philadelphia, PA — The Philadelphia 250 Women’s Committee recently gathered for its quarterly meeting at the Museum of the American Revolution in Old City, bringing together civic minded women leaders to reflect on progress, align on priorities, and advance initiatives leading up to the city’s historic 250th celebration in 2026.
The meeting highlighted both the work already underway and the work still ahead. Committee members engaged in meaningful conversation around storytelling, cultural preservation, and economic opportunity, all through a lens that centers women and community impact across Philadelphia.
A key focus of the meeting was continued collaboration with Belmont Mansion, a historic site playing an important role in Philadelphia’s tourism and cultural narrative. The committee reaffirmed its commitment to driving awareness, increasing visitation, and elevating the museum’s place within the broader Philadelphia 250 experience. By spotlighting spaces like Belmont Mansion, the committee aims to ensure inclusive history and diverse stories remain visible as global attention turns toward the city.
In addition to cultural initiatives, the committee discussed plans for a pitch competition designed to support local women entrepreneurs. The competition will create opportunities for women across Philadelphia to present their businesses, access funding, and gain visibility as part of the Philadelphia 250 movement. This effort reflects the committee’s commitment to economic empowerment and supporting women led innovation at a local level.
“The Women’s Committee is not only preserving history, we are building the future,” shared Monychann (Mo) McCarty, founder of Unorthodox Therapy Inc. and a committee member. “From cultural institutions like Belmont Mansion to funding opportunities for women entrepreneurs, this work is about legacy, access, and impact.”
The setting of the Museum of the American Revolution served as a powerful reminder of Philadelphia’s role in shaping the nation. As the city prepares for its 250th anniversary, the Women’s Committee continues to ensure that women’s voices, leadership, and contributions remain central to the story being told.
The quarterly meeting reinforced the strength of collaboration among women leaders who are committed to creating a people centered, inclusive, and forward looking celebration for 2026.
