It’s Time: Leading Woman Award Winner Lynda Carter on The
Future Of Equity and Power
Very few people could ever fill her red and white leather high-heeled boots, and Lynda Carter herself has achieved far more than her fictional character of Wonder Woman ever could. Even with the starred crown.
As the recipient of Take The Lead’s Leading Woman Award at the 2024 Power Up Concert & Conference on Women’s Equality Day in Washington, D.C., Carter eloquently demonstrates she is the role model for leadership that many generations of women and girls have always needed. “It’s less about superpowers and more about heart and intellect and a sense of importance and courage with a goodness in her,” said Gloria Feldt, co-founder and president of Take The Lead at the fifth annual event celebrating 10 years of Take The Lead’s mission and work. “She is so much more than the character she is known for.”

While pursuing a fulfilling career at Customer Management Practice (CMP) as an analyst and a producer of the world’s largest customer contact event series, Customer Contact Week (CCW), I noticed the need for a space for women and allies to celebrate women and to support them in their careers.
Who’s still glowing from the energy of Take The Lead’s Power Up Concert and Conference? I am for sure!
There were so many extraordinary moments. We saw a “genre bending” concert on August 25th at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts featuring pianistMarina Arsenijevic, indy rock groupBETTY, and iconic acapella singing groupSweet Honey in the Rock.
There was a champagne toast to Take The Lead’s first 10 years at the end of the all-day conference on Women’s Equality Day August 26th. And we opened enrollment in our powerful 9 Leadership Power Tools online course. The event
lived up to its theme and our promise to each other: #TogetherWeLead.
