CARLA CARLISE, TEDx Speaker / Child Advocate / Author / Trauma Expert and 2022 Career Mastered Leadership in Action Honoree, gave a perfect summary of the Awards program when she said this —

“…I gained a room full of sisters.”

This is a time to remember the perseverance and courage women have shown in pursuit of equality. Progress has been slow. This slow progress is why we must encourage more women to become leaders whether in government, media, higher education, technology, sports, or the arts and continue the fight for women’s advancement.
