Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate Texas Women’s Foundation’s 40-year legacy of impact and recommit to creating new opportunities for the 14.7 million women and girls who call Texas home.
CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF IMPACT
The Luncheon featured speaker Christine Baranksi, who sat down for a conversation with Past Foundation Board Chair Caren Lock was both inspiring and deeply resonant. With candor and grace, Christine reflected on her purpose-driven career, the strength of teh women who helped shape her journey, and her commitment to advancing women’s leadershi and respresention in teh arts.
It was a meaningful, memorable conversation—one that left us energized, uplifted, and reminded of the impact one voice, one vision, and one woman can make. It was a momet we will carry with us as we look into the next 40 years.
