We had an unforgettable Women Building Community Luncheon on Thursday!

From our morning symposium, Women in the #603, to the presentation of our She Change Award to the International Institute of New England (IINE); from celebrating Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s three decades of public service — and announcing our newly created Shaheen Girls Leadership Award in her honor — to marking our CEO Tanna Clews' ten years at the Foundation; and finally, a fascinating closing conversation with Cole Brauer Ocean Racing and Jennifer Wilder — the program was inspiring from start to finish.

Thank you to our 500 attendees who joined us and made this day so special. Please enjoy the photos from this epic day and don’t forget to tag yourself and your friends.

🗓️ The Countdown is ON! Only 2 Days Until WBC!

This year, we are thrilled to welcome special guest Cole Brauer to WBC!

🌊 ⛵️ Cole Brauer Ocean Racing holds the record for the fastest circumnavigation of the globe in a 40-foot sailboat, cementing her reputation as one of the most formidable sailors of her generation. That same year, Cole was named Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year, one of the sport’s highest honors.

Known for her grit, precision, and unfiltered storytelling from the high seas, Cole has become a magnetic voice in modern ocean racing. She has built a devoted digital community of more than 500,000 followers and has reached millions with her raw, real-time dispatches from some of the most extreme environments on Earth.

Cole continues to push boundaries as co-skipper for the prestigious Team Malizia, competing at the highest levels of international offshore racing while inspiring a new generation to chase bold ambitions beyond the horizon. Her memoir, First Light: Sailing Solo but Not Alone, comes out in September 2026.

You don’t want to miss this year's Luncheon and your chance to meet Cole and hear her inspiring story! 🎟️ Limited tickets are still available. For tickets and more information, contact our office at 603-226-3355 x101 or email us at [email protected].
