Our hearts are broken on hearing the tragic news that our longtime partner Carrie McCaw and her daughter Kacey were killed in a car crash yesterday. We will miss her vibrancy, and commitment to supporting women. We send our love & prayers to her family during this difficult time.
For the 50th Anniversary of Title IX, we took time to recognize industry trailblazers that built a better future for women leaders. Thank you for the path you’ve blazed for all of us to follow ❤️
