This year’s theme, Creative Catalysts, will highlight women whose imagination, ingenuity, and originality have transformed how we live, work, and play:

• Melissa Bernstein is an entrepreneur, creative, and author. As co-founder and former CEO of the wildly successful toy company, Melissa & Doug. Melissa has spent the last 30 years helping children discover themselves, their passions, and their purpose through open-ended play.

• Sara C. Bronin is an architect, attorney, professor, and policymaker whose interdisciplinary work focuses on how law and policy can foster more equitable, sustainable, well-designed, and connected places.

• Barbara Summers was an American writer and educator who had a long and successful career as a fashion model, working for 17 years with Ford Modeling as well as being a published writer and editor.

Your partnership empowers us to sustain our impactful educational programs year-round, including STEMFems, "See It, Be It", and Talks on the Road. Your support makes this vital work possible, and we are profoundly grateful for your commitment!

The event includes a reception with heavy hors d'oeuvres from 6-7 PM, followed by the Induction Ceremony from 7-8:30 PM.
