Gender Equity Manifesto
Men and women are different by design, and when working together, a dynamic duo for change.
​
Whether athletics or aesthetics, technical expertise or creative expression, problem solver or people optimizer, our strengths are not gender specific, nor is our leadership!
​
Progress is inevitable when we stop disparaging and start celebrating the unique genius we possess as individuals. We move from rigid gender expectations to vivid conversations that create meaningful change, inclusive of all.
Believe in success over bias, outcomes over activities, and win-win over win-lose.
​
The world's challenges are too big to let gender-limiting beliefs get in the way of innovating for limitless possibilities to better ourselves, our families, and our communities.
​
Men and women are both stakeholders in gender equity.
Men and women are heroes separately and superheroes together.
