Presenting Sponsor: J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
Guest Speaker: Nora McInerny
Remarkable Volunteer Award winner: Julie Rose
Remarkable Coach Award winner: The late Kate Sloane Holmberg, accepted on her behalf by her mother, Caroline Sloane-Greer
Notable Moment: Nora McInerny, creator and host of the podcasts “Terrible, Thanks for Asking” & “It’s Going to Be OK,” gave a frank and funny talk about topics many would rather not discuss — death, loss, illness, mental health, trauma and change. A goosebumps moment came after she shared her phone number with the crowd, and they responded with texts about issues they were battling. It was a poignant reminder that even in a group of high-achievers, many are privately struggling. The event served as a way to support the Girls on the Run vision of a world where every girl is empowered to activate her limitless potential and boldly pursue her dreams.
