Inspiring! We got a chance to listen to the wisdom of Ariel Investments Co-CEO and President Mellody Hobson in her keynote fireside chat at Teach For America's 9th Annual Forecast event in New York City last week. GBC Founder + CEO Linnea Roberts (pictured with TFA-New York Co-Chair Joe Amato, Mellody Hobson and TFA ED Tia Morris) is a longtime TFA supporter and board member of both the NYC chapter and national organization. Linnea brought together a table of more wise women who joined us for the fundraiser, which raised $270,000 to support TFA's programs, teachers and students. BTW, we're stoked about Ariel Investments' latest venture, Ariel Project Level, which is investing in women's sports in a BIG way! #educationequity #volunteering #womeninvc #womeninfinance #womenleaders #womeninsports #womeninvestinginwomen #supportteachers #supporteducation #investineducation
