We know she will contribute significant knowledge to our sisterhood.”


“As I reached the pinnacle of corporate America serving as a public company director, and now as a Lead Director, I realized how few women there are in these positions to provide mentorship and a helping hand,” said Dr. Massey. “I am honored to have been selected as an Exceptional Women Awardee and grateful to benefit from this incredible community of powerful women who are dedicated to guiding each other, lending their contacts, and providing moral support.”
