Quotes

Years ago when my three splendid daughters, “Miami Girls” each, discovered they had to leave their home base to achieve their career goals it became apparent to me Miami had to mature to keep “Miami Women” in town. The effort to help create that kind of community has been a motivating force for my life’s work. With each new change in Miami (and the changes come fast) we have opened more opportunity for women of talent to contribute to our prosperity.
