    QUOTE OF THE WEEK
    “To this day, ambition is often celebrated in a man and disdained in a woman. As a result, many women go to great lengths to hide theirs. Women must be able to express their ambition and not be judged as aggressive or ‘not team players.’"                                                            -- Tory Burch, CEO and designer of Tory Burch

    TAKE THE LEAD DAY

    NOVEMBER 14, 2017

    Do you remember where you were last November? What you were feeling? Imagine coming together with women everywhere and channeling all of our energy into one day of global action for women's leadership.

    This is Take The Lead Day 2017.
    On November 14th, 2017 champions of women from across the world will come together for
    a global day of action focused on one goal: leadership parity by 2025.


    As our friend and partner in parity, Gloria Steinem, has boldly said, "The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day. A movement is only people moving."

    We are that movement.
    We are Pow*HER*ful because we are unified by a common goal to achieve gender leadership equality by 2025 - 70 years ahead of the trajectory. We are Pow*HER*ful because we stand together in action, fighting every day for our daughters, our sisters, our mothers, our friends, and ourselves.
