President/ CEO : St. Anne’s is one of the most highly regarded social-service agencies in Southern California.
On this International Women's Day, we come together to celebrate the remarkable achievements of women and girls worldwide. As we reflect on the progress made, The United Nations reminds us of the pressing need to invest in women, accelerate progress, and inspire inclusion for a brighter future.
Investing in Women: For Generations to Come
At St. Anne's Family Services, I am privileged to work alongside an incredible all-female executive team that embodies strength, excellence, and strategic thinking. Fueled by care and passion for sustainable change, our commitment to women's empowerment extends beyond financial support to meet the needs of our program participants and workforce. It is a dedication to providing equal opportunities and resources for their growth and success.
Through education, mentorship, and advocacy, we can empower women and girls to reach their full potential. By investing in their goals and dreams, we not only accelerate progress but also unlock a world of possibilities. It is a collective effort that goes beyond the workplace, shaping a more inclusive and equitable society.
Honoring Trailblazers and Shattering Glass Ceilings
As we celebrate the achievements of trailblazing women who have paved the way, we must acknowledge that we stand on their shoulders, inspired by their courage and determination. Their resilience has shattered glass ceilings and opened doors of opportunity for future generations. We carry their legacy forward, recognizing the milestones achieved and the challenges overcome.
Today, I invite you to join us in celebrating the incredible achievements of women worldwide. Let's unite as a global community, amplifying the voices of women and girls, and working towards a future where every individual is valued, respected, and given equal opportunities. Together, we can invest in women, accelerate progress, and inspire inclusion for a brighter and more equitable world.
