Description
Starting from a young age, many of us have faced unfair treatment based on our gender. This can start in a family household when one is compared to their brothers, and stretch into elementary school and adulthood. At university, the male leadership on campus is very visible, as well as the unfair treatment of women at the workplace. How can women support each other in these situations and create mentorship?
Featuring Guest Speaker
Ruth Rathblott
CEO Harlem Educational Activities Fund
Ruth Rathblott is a leader who has spent her entire career focused on providing opportunities for those who face obstacles.
Ruth has been a leader and public speaker for over 25 years, 15 of which she spent at Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City where she played a central role in its expansion. There she held a series of progressively responsible positions, ultimately serving as the Associate Executive Director. It was at that organization that she fostered a deep appreciation for inclusion as far as education and opportunity, which successfully propelled the students to greater achievement.
Ruth holds a B.A. from Goucher College and an MSW from Boston University. She was honored to be the youngest alum ever awarded the Goucher College Excellence in Public Service Award. In 2014, she was profiled as a CEO in the NY Times Corner Office, which featured her passion and motivation for “things I want to be a part of.”: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/11/business/ruth-rathblott-of-harlem-educational-activities-fund-on-seeking-opportunities.html.
As their CEO for the past seven years, Ruth leads the Harlem Educational Activities Fund (HEAF), a 31-year-old NYC-based college access and success program for underserved youth. She aligns with the HEAF vision of providing a continuum of educational, development, leadership, and personal resilience opportunities.
Ruth was born with a limb difference and is currently speaking on issues of diversity and inclusion, the gifts of being unique, and the freedom of accepting your differences and rising above life’s challenges.
