Your Turn to Meet 18 Women of Impact Live, July 19!

Your Turn to Meet 18 Women of Impact Live, July 19!

Women of Impact  highlights impactmania’s focus on women’s contributions to society.

Although most media would like us to believe that women have taken a backseat in driving cultural, social, and economic impact, impactmania has featured more than 130+ female change-makers in 30+ countries, including artists, ambassadors, impact investors, social entrepreneurs, scientists, and a Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Considering the current empowering spirit and the enduring equality issues raised by women, this theme is perfectly timed.

The exhibition at the AD&A Museum underscores some of the featured women’s contributions through audio/visual installations. Additionally, there will be opportunities for the public to add their own voice. This exhibition is complemented by a panel discussion on July 19th that includes women featured in the book from across the country and the world, among them: 

 Jean Kilbourne, Women Hall of Fame inductee 2017; Teresa Herd, Intel’s vice president Global Creative Direction; Laura Jana, M.D., award-winning author; Aliza Shvartz; artist and scholar; Jodie Grenier, Marine Corps Veteran and executive director, Foundation for Women Warriors; Teresa Goines, executive director, Old Skool Café; Lady Leslie Ridley-Tree, CEO and Chair of Pacific Air Industries and philanthropist; Carla De Landri, former senior producer ’20/20′ TV series and ABC News, Marla McNally Phillips, Theatre Producer, Miyoung Chun, scientist and entrepreneur, Thais Barros Beldi, Manager Strategy and Innovation, Facens University, from Brazil and Brittany Teei, Founder and CEO, KidsCoin from New Zealand.
