Let's shine a light on our 2024 board! ✨

Meet Alli Greenwood YES! Columbus 2024 Advocacy Chair. We asked each board member the important question below, and we'll sprinkle in their answers throughout the year ✨

Empowering women is the heart of the YES! Columbus mission and Dress for Success Columbus mission, but we hear that phrase so often that we can lose sight of the purpose behind it. What does empowering women mean to *you* ?

“To me, empowering women is to be an empathetic ear and to amplify the female voices around you. We each have a unique story, passion, and purpose to share. We should encourage one another to share those stories.”

We asked each board member the important question below, and we'll sprinkle in their answers throughout the year ✨

Empowering women is the heart of the YES! Columbus mission and Dress for Success Columbus mission, but we hear that phrase so often that we can lose sight of the purpose behind it. What does empowering women mean to *you* ?

“As women, we face a combination of sexism, racism, & economic inequality that regularly threaten our livelihood. Actively supporting the advancement of women across all backgrounds is vital; we all deserve to thrive. Empowering women involves providing access to opportunities & resources to decrease the gap in our decision-making power, promoting a safe space to lean into our authentic self, influencing social change, and offering valuable insights via our lived experiences.

Investing in the development of other women by building & sustaining community helps lay the groundwork for the next generation of women to conquer their own unique set of challenges. If you’ve found your voice, speak up and advocate for women whose voices need to be amplified. Be intentional about reaching back, in front, and beside you to lift others as you climb the success ladder."

This is Brittney's first year volunteering with and serving on the YES board 💖

“Though significant strides have been made towards gender equity, imposter syndrome remains a formidable barrier for many women in fully embracing their equality within the professional sphere.
