I didn’t have time to write a column this week because we’re sooooo busy preparing for this special matinee performance starring Christi Lahti playing feminist leader Gloria Steinem. Steinem herself will be there to lead the audience discussion. And I might have a thing or two to say, so
you’ll get Gloria Squared (but certainly not square)
A generous donor has “bought the house” so every penny you donate goes to Take The Lead’s training, mentoring, coaching, role models, and thought leadership programs that will advance women to parity in leadership by 2025.
Please consider a premium seating VIP ticket. VIPs will be invited to a reception where the show’s Tony-winning producer, Daryl Roth ("Kinky Boots" and more), will answer your questions. And there are other perks, including an intimate dinner I’ll host for a few lucky donors, books signed by both Glorias, and most of all your satisfaction knowing you have done something great for the world and the women you love. Grab your ticket (and/or buy tickets for young women to attend) now on Eventbrite here. Tickets to this historic play are a great holiday gift for clients or colleagues. Corporate sponsorships also are available here.
Warmest regards and no excuses, Gloria Feldt Co-founder and President, Take The Lead @Gloria Feldt
