A huge round of #GALAGratitude to everyone that joined us for our 6th Annual #LaunchHERfuture Women’s Leadership Breakfast. This annual fundraiser is a unique event where we honor local and national leaders in the STEM industry, education, and advocacy who are making a difference in advancing opportunities for girls and young women. Our supporters had the opportunity to interact with GALA Scholars as they showcased projects in the GALA Gallery Exhibition. The program included a STEM-focused and Trail Blazer panel discussions featuring our Award Honorees, GALA Scholars, and our Founder and Principal, Dr. Liz Hicks.
