#QuoteOfTheDay with Erica Courtney

2

As young women, we were taught to stay in our lane and not attract extra attention to ourselves. As we’ve grown up and experienced more, we’ve chosen to embrace our femininity and challenge the status quo.

As NAWRB Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Council member, Erica Courtney, eloquently explained in our #NDILCPrinciples #PassTheTorch call, we need to educate and encourage our future generations of women NOW to speak up and make their place at the table.

#QuoteOfTheDay with Tami Bonnell

1

We are continuing the theme of #PassTheTorch all month long!

In these tough times, it’s important to come together and leverage our resources to achieve our goals.

Tami Bonnell shared impactful words of wisdom about the importance of Passing the Torch to our younger generations.

“When you’re in an environment of trust, you’re willing to take risks to grow.”

“When we give people exposure to experiences that they’ve never had, oftentimes they find out things about themselves they didn’t know.”

Creating environments of growth and positivity ensures that our future generations of women leaders will have the opportunity and courage to succeed.

We want to know what #PassTheTorch means to YOU. Share your story by using these hashtags #NDILCLeadership #NDILCPrinciples #NDILCTenForTwenties #NDILCTopTen
