The Junior League of Greenwich (JLG) is thrilled to welcome its keynote speaker Mackenzie Phillips to the second annual Women’s Conference at Townhouse in Greenwich on Saturday, March 28, 2026. This year’s theme is Every Woman. All Things., and it honors the many roles women carry every day.
“Having Mackenzie Phillips anchor this beautifully empowering one-day event where women take a well-deserved moment to reflect and connect with themselves and others through self-development and inspiration is an honor for the JLG, and we can’t wait for you to experience this special day,” said Sammie Jacobs, President of the Junior League of Greenwich.
The courageous Mackenzie is not just a famous film and television actress known for Orange is the New Black, One Day at a Time, and American Graffiti; she is also a New York Times best-selling author and well-known speaker and advocate for addiction, trauma, and mental health awareness and education.
