Spring 2025 Program Update

 

Breakfast with Sheros

This year, the Goldie Scholars had the opportunity to present their “elevator pitch” to the esteemed Goldie Gala Sheros. This exercise required the scholars to craft a concise and compelling summary of their personal stories and aspirations. Among the Sheroes were Kim Adams, Mary Ludgin, and Lynn Reich, along with Goldie Wolfe Miller, all of whom provided invaluable feedback and insights to the aspiring scholars.

Pitching to Goldie Wolfe Miller & Katie Kazas

As part of their leadership development, each Goldie Scholar crafted and delivered a 1–2 minute value statement articulating the personal and professional impact of being a Goldie Scholar and pursuing graduate education.
This exercise equipped each Goldie Scholar with a concise and compelling statement they can confidently share in high-stakes conversations—whether at a boardroom table, networking event, or job interview. The Scholars presented to Founder Goldie B. Wolfe Miller and Board President Katie Kazas.
