The Officer candidates shared their insights on being intentional in supporting and connecting women across government, building a stronger future within EWG following in the footsteps of the founding members, and mentoring future leaders aspiring to senior executive positions.
Past President Ana B. Hinojosa read the numerous accolades of keynote speaker the Honorable Nancy Harvey Steorts. Ms. Steorts enthusiastically outlined the history, mission, and success of EWG and the power of making connections, working hard, and making a difference and a legacy.
