United Way of the Coastal Empire announced today that tickets and tables are now on sale for the 2026 Women Who Rule luncheon, set for Wednesday, March 4, 2026, at the Savannah Convention Center. The annual event will honor community leader and longtime United Way supporter Swann Seiler as the 2026 United Way Woman of the Year.

Presented by United Way’s Women United®, Women Who Rule raises critical funds for the Women United Transportation Fund, which supports women and caregivers across the region who need dependable transportation to maintain employment, attend medical appointments and care for their families. Contributions to the fund help provide gas cards, bus passes, minor car repairs and other transportation assistance.

“Women Who Rule is both a celebration and a call to action,” said Kimberly Waller, president and CEO of United Way of the Coastal Empire. “By attending this event, our community is not only honoring an extraordinary leader in Swann Seiler but also investing directly in solutions that remove barriers and create opportunity for women and families throughout our region.”

The 2026 luncheon will be chaired by Jennifer Ball, region operations coordinator for Georgia Power’s Southeast Region. In addition to recognizing Seiler as Woman of the Year, the event will feature a panel discussion with prominent female leaders from across the Coastal Empire. Panelists will be announced in the coming weeks.
