<b><font face="Helvetica" size="3">“Not all great ideas begin in the boardroom,” said Kerry Rossow. “This one </font></b><b><font face="Helvetica" size="3">was born in the backyard. We were sitting around the patio table, talking about what we hoped for our
girls someday. We realized that as mothers, we need to set the example in what we do and the way we talk. Then we decided to bring the idea to life on stage by turning the spotlight on women who have made the decision to live an authentic life. We hope that
by sharing these stories, we can encourage each other to live purposefully.”</font></b></div>
