Joint Spouses’ Conference

The Joint Spouses’ Conference is a non-profit organization chartered to enrich the lives of military spouses stationed in Hawaii. The annual conference provides a forum for spouses of active duty, reserve, Gold Star, and retired military members of all services and ranks to learn, network, and help each other in our challenging roles as spouses, parents, professionals, and community leaders through workshops and special guest speakers. Whether you have been on the island for a while or are new to Hawaii, the conference offers you a unique opportunity to meet and network with more than 500 spouses.

The theme of the Joint Spouses’ Conference 2021 is Ho’Okipa, which is a Hawaiian phrase meaning the hospitality of complete giving and unselfishly extending to others the best that we have to give in the spirit of Aloha. In 2021, the US Navy will be in charge of hosting this year’s event that will occur in the Fall of 2021. We are excited to welcome spouses from all services and ranks to our 2021 event!

How it all Started: On August 24, 1971, in Lubbock, Texas Judith A. Cassidy married David A. Bramlett and a military spouse was born. Throughout her husband’s career as an Army Officer, Judi profoundly believed Army wives, individually and collectively, possessed extraordinary talent that should be shared with one another.

In 1984, aboard Fort Bragg, NC, Judi introduced the Women’s Information Network (WIN), an innovative series of conferences for and about Army wives. She later carried the idea with her to Fort Campbell, KY in 1986 where it was renamed Interaction 101.

In 1988, aboard Schofield Barracks, Army wives Sharon Gilliam and Judi Bramlett teamed together to develop the first Women’s Conference for Army wives. They recruited workshop presenters from throughout the military community and from professional, educational, and governmental sectors of the state. This proved to be an invaluable template for future conferences. Judi would go on to direct additional Women’s Conferences in Alaska in 1993 and 1994.

Judi returned to Hawaii in 1995 where she introduced her concept to friend and future cochair, Janel Howell, a Marine spouse. Only this time, Judi was reaching for new horizons to include all military spouses. Judi and Janel brought the Joint Women’s Conference - Military Wife: Spirit of Ohana- to fruition. The first conference was held aboard Hickam Air Force Base. The purpose: “To provide a forum for military wives that will enrich, empower, uplift, enlighten, motivate, and strengthen them in their roles as women, wives, mothers, and community leaders.”

On November 20, 2008 at the age of 61, Judith A Bramlett died in her home after a courageous two year battle with lung cancer. Her legacy lives on and her spirit is alive here today.
