The best leaders are humble and thoughtful in their guidance; they have the confidence to ask questions, seek opinions from diverse voices and inspire people through action.

  “It’s important to model philanthropy. We talk to the kids about giving time and talent, but financial support is also an important way of taking action. I love the Holiday Bazaar because it’s a great way for them to use their creative talents to make a difference.” Read more in the Donor & Giving Report 2020-21.
