Power Up For Women’s Equality Day: 5 Proven Reasons Together We Lead Increases Equity: Tak e The Lead 8/27/2024

It has been 104 years since the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment that granted women the right to vote, and Women’s Equality Day on August 26 is a salute to that milestone. In 10 years, Take The Lead has acted on the mission to reach gender parity in leadership across all sectors by 2025.

"Many of the inequalities protested in 1970 remain: pay and leadership gaps, roll backs of reproductive rights, and the Equal Rights Amendment, written 101 years ago, is still not in the Constitution," said Gloria Feldt, co-founder and president of Take The Lead at the recent Power Up Concert & Conference Event. '

"I said when we decided to hold the conference in D.C. this year that we would either celebrate the ERA in the Constitution or raise hell that it isn’t," said Feldt, speaking at the fifth annual Power Up event for Take The Lead.

This year’s theme of “Together We Lead” emphasizes the world-changing movements, personal and professional advancements possible when women lead together with allies, partners, policy makers, colleagues, administrators, mentors and associates. All have the goal in mind of parity in leadership across all gender, racial, geographic, age, ideological, physical and mental identities and communities by 2025.

The Power To Turn Adversity Into Opportunity

By Dalene Heck

My journey has been anything but conventional. After climbing the corporate ladder in my twenties, my husband Pete and I decided to sell everything we owned and travel the world. This decision came after a series of personal tragedies in 2007 that made us reevaluate our lives. What started as a plan for a one-year adventure turned into nearly eight years of nomadic living, during which we visited 60 countries. We built a successful travel and marketing company, leveraging our experiences to consult with travel brands and tourism boards.
