What draws you to Great Women to Know?
"I was thrilled when I heard that there was a group of "great women to know" who were getting together to support each other and the work that we are doing here at Esperanza Academy. I appreciate everything GWTK is doing for us. What a talented, motivated group. A bonus for me is that these women are not just my professional colleagues, they have become my friends."
