Board Chair, American Red Cross Bay Area

To stand alongside such powerhouse women as an honoree is a privilege, but my true, dangerous passion lies in the daily mission of Dress for Success.

Throughout my career, I was too often the only woman in the room. Giving women the tools to get back into the workforce and level up is critical for our collective success.

The old boys might not know it yet, but they will. Look out.
