What a celebration! It was wonderful to gather with so many friends and people important to us over the years! The 2024 Leadership Team (pictured) presented a great event. We reflected on not only what was done in the past year, but also in the many years as the women of North Texas. Our keynote speaker, Mary Brooke Casad, made it special with a touch of history and inspiration. Abide CEO Cessilye R. Smith's presentation was powerful, our support for improving the disparities in maternal health remains strong, and she was so thankful for our broad support. Please send us your photos and we'll add them to our event photo album. If you were not able to be with us, click to watch the live stream recording.
