Climate change, geopolitical threats, social discord, the economy, and the unknowns around arti昀椀cial intelligence are only a few of the current formidable challenges. No company and no CEO is immune from the speed of change a昀昀ecting every market, globally.

CEOs and shareholders bene昀椀t from a broader sounding board to help navigate issues shaping customer choice, employee engagement and investor sentiment.

Your support of Him For Her enables us to attract diverse talent and bring the expertise of so many exceptional people to the boardroom. Countless companies and leaders will bene昀椀t from your generosity, now, and in future generations. I’m grateful for your collaboration, and humbled to serve this wonderful organization.
