Mandy Kao Among 2022 Women of Distinction

We are proud to celebrate Governing Board member, Mandy Kao, and the 2022 Women of Distinction who inspire and create meaningful and positive change for our community. As part of their 35th Anniversary Winter Ball, the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation continues their tradition this year of recognizing ten women of distinction making a difference in our community.

Mandy Kao believes a Woman of Distinction carries a responsibility to be a role model of service, compassion, and engagement while working toward a society that is more equitable for all. She also believes that to be a leader she must be of service and her life path is servant leadership. Her purpose is to make a positive difference and be a leader for women everywhere.
