The featured speakers are State Sen. Gloria Negrete-McLeod, D-Chino, and Assemblywoman Wilmer Amina Carter, D-Rialto.
Issues of health, employment, education, politics, family and finances will be discussed.
"People will hear each of the guest speakers give information from their particular fields," McGee said.
McGee will discuss new passport laws and talk about Healthy Rialto. She wrote the grant for the program.
In 1987, the National Women's History Project petitioned Congress to expand the celebration of Women's History Week to the entire month of March.
The National Women's History Month Resolution has been approved every year since by the House and Senate.
This year's national theme is "Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet," in recognition of women who have brought environmental issues to the forefront.
Admission is free, and a free lunch will be catered, but seating is limited.
The conference is from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Rialto Senior Center, 1141 Riverside Ave.
