Our Power, Our Voice

On March 28, our Our Power, Our Voice Luncheon was truly inspiring! We came together to honor the strength of women in public service, and our incredible panel—Jamia Jowers, Minyon Moore, Ngozi Ezike, Shareese Pryor, and Staci Williams—sparked powerful conversations with their stories and insight. Huge thanks to Maureen Hallagan and Zania Stoutmire for guiding the dialogue.
