This International Women's Day, we'd like to celebrate our largest employee resource group, the Women's Career Network. According to a study by private network of executive women, Chief, more than 70% of surveyed women have used networking to achieve organizational goals such as winning new business, implementing new frameworks or models, leading successful projects, improving processes and saving money for their team or organization. WCN helps women at The Standard attain career satisfaction by building their confidence in leadership skills and offering engagement opportunities. We pledge to remain committed to advancing women in the workplace. https://lnkd.in/gEcV-zdc

Celebrating National Nonprofit Day: Empowering Female Leaders Making a Difference! Happy National Nonprofit Day! Today, we raise our voices to honor and celebrate the incredible impact of nonprofits on our communities. 🙌💙 As we commemorate this special day, I want to shine a spotlight on the remarkable female leaders who are driving change, creating opportunities, and making a lasting difference through their nonprofit organizations. 👩💼 To all the women at the helm of nonprofits, your dedication is awe-inspiring. You are the champions of compassion, the architects of empowerment, and the catalysts for positive transformation. Through your vision and unwavering commitment, you're touching lives, nurturing dreams, and creating a brighter future for us all. Nonprofits don't just provide services; they build bridges, break barriers, and offer hope where it's needed most. From education and healthcare to environmental conservation and social justice, the contributions of nonprofit organizations are woven into the fabric of our society. Whether you're fostering educational equity, championing women's rights, promoting environmental sustainability, or any of the countless other missions out there, your efforts are leaving an indelible mark. You're proving that change doesn't just happen—it's ignited by purpose-driven leaders like you. On this day, let's reflect on the power of collaboration. Together, we can amplify the impact of nonprofits even further. Let's join hands, share insights, and support one another in the pursuit of our shared goals. By lifting each other up, we magnify the change we create in the world. I invite you to celebrate not only the nonprofits themselves but also the heart and soul of these organizations—the dedicated women who lead with passion and resilience. You are the embodiment of what it means to be a changemaker, and your work inspires us all. To all the female nonprofit leaders out there, thank you for your tireless dedication, boundless compassion, and unwavering belief in the power of positive change. You are shaping a brighter future for generations to come. Let's continue to collaborate, innovate, and lead with purpose!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As a board member of Women In Transition (WIT), a non-profit that empowers people to move forward in their lives free of domestic and substance abuse, this cause is very personal to me. Throughout the month I will be sharing facts and events to help support victims of abuse and the WIT community. By acknowledging this reality, we can collectively work towards ending domestic violence and creating safe, healthy communities for everyone.
