What an incredible honor to see Sisters In Good recognized at the Fulcrum Nonprofit Leadership (Fulcrum) Conference with the Servant Leadership Award. What started as a small group of female social impact CEOs coming together for connection has evolved into a powerful network of support, thought partnership, and friendship. The collective strength of this sisterhood is not only a gift to each of us, but also a model for how we can nurture and elevate the next generation of women leaders. Grateful to be amongst inspiring colleagues.Claudia Bonilla Keller, MPA Jennifer Friend Dawn S.
