Happy Holidays,

As we head into the new year, it’s a time for reflection on accomplishments and looking ahead to growth and opportunities to make a difference for ourselves and others.

Now is the time to discover our purpose and embrace leadership skills to become adaptable, generous and ensure we represent people in our community.

This holiday season, we encourage each of you to give back and support a family in need with relief. #empowHERfamily is creating an impact in changing the lives of women in India that have lost their primary breadwinner to the pandemic. The life of one family can be transformed by a contribution of $450. Can we count on you to make a difference?
