#McNultyPrize Laureates Maria Pacheco and Alexandra Kissling members of Vital Voices Global Partnership are empowering women in Central America to succeed economically and socially. In a region where 1 in 3 women face violence and many work without protection or fair pay, Vital Voices is tackling systemic inequalities head-on. By amplifying women’s voices and fostering leadership, they’re driving change and building a more inclusive, equitable future. At the McNulty Foundation, we believe leadership creates a ripple effect— when one leader rises, entire communities are transformed.

Alongside our President, Anne Welsh McNulty, we were thrilled to bring our community together at Saint Joseph's University for an inspiring talk from Dr. Amy Cheng Vollmer at the annual reception for the John P. McNulty Program for Leadership in Science and Mathematics. Dr. Cheng Vollmer spoke to our community of students, parents, faculty and university leaders about how to support the advancement of women in STEM. Using nature as a model, how can we cultivate an ecosystem of growth, resilience, recovery and cooperation in how we recruit, train, and support women in STEM? Our students left feeling energized and motivated, fueling their passion as they pursue their STEM degrees and work toward becoming the next generation of leaders in science and math.

The challenges that we face as a society have changed quite a bit in the 75 years since the Aspen Institute was founded, but what has remained the same is the necessity for authentic, thoughtful, and effective leadership. Join us for In Session, a new series where leaders from across the Aspen Institute and its network reflect on their own leadership journeys, the leaders who inspire them, and the practical wisdom gained from their experiences. Whether you are an emerging leader looking to grow or a seasoned professional seeking new perspectives, we invite you to join us.
