“The question is not how to survive, but how to thrive with passion, compassion, humor, and style.”
-Maya Angelou
The impact of the pandemic has been especially far-reaching for women. Hearing from women in leadership about their learnings and challenges, and supporting one another feels more important than ever. This #WomensHistoryMonth we honor some of the many women across the Network whose work helps create a future without limits for students and families. Below PIE Network leaders share women they admire, advice, and leadership resources.
