Theme: World on Fire
Keynote speaker: Jeffrey A. Mandell, Co-founder, President and General Counsel, Law Forward, Madison, WI
As we look around our communities and our nation, it's easy to feel like the world is on fire. Yet throughout ESTHER's 22-year history, we have learned that even in difficult times, hope grows when people come together to organize, build relationships, and act for justice.
Join us for the ESTHER Banquet 2026 as we celebrate 22 years of empowering leaders, strengthening communities, and creating meaningful change across the Fox Valley. This year's theme, “World on Fire,” invites us to reflect honestly on today’s challenges while recommitting ourselves to the work of building a more just, compassionate, and equitable future.
We're honored to welcome as our keynote speaker, Jeff Mandell, Co-Founder of Law Forward. Jeff will share insights on protecting democracy, advancing justice, and why community action matters now more than ever.
Whether you've been part of ESTHER’s journey for years or are just getting to know our work, we’d love to celebrate with you. Together, we can meet the challenges of our time with courage, compassion, and the collective power to create lasting change.
