Introducing this year’s group of inspiring changemakers who tirelessly push for progress.
Every year, we recognize women who are visionaries, with big plans for the year to come. This year’s honorees are no exception, and the issues they’re tackling are particularly poignant right now: the childcare shortage, youth mental health, affordable housing, supporting youth of color — and so much more. Congratulations to our 2025 class.
