Before we had our Education, Development, and Marketing teams, we had our Women's Board! This talented group of women established the foundation of SFMOMA as we know it today. From 1934-1977, the Women's Board raised money, organized social functions, and created educational programs — often working these events themselves. "They were of a type to respond with more conviction to other more serious interests," our founder Grace McCann Morley said in a 1960 interview. "That’s why I called on them so continuously and so urgently [...] to give me support in the educational development of the museum." See archival photos of the women in action, and learn more about their contributions to our museum: https://bit.ly/4c1eIjB P.S. Note their incredible office decor — Kenzo Okada's "Quality" (1956). This artwork is currently on view on Floor 2!

I’m really in awe to see so many wealthy women organizing and chairing events for Hawai’i (*insert group*) for Harris. It got me thinking- how powerful it could be to also focus on increasing the involvement of diverse women in local politics right here in Hawai’i. In the lead-up to this year's primary elections, female candidates raised an average of $23,492, while men raised twice as much. The largest gap between male and female candidates was in individual contributions, where women raised only 23% of total individual donations. There’s a strong focus on advocating for a female president but it raises the question: how do you address the treatment of women in leadership positions within your own local community? Within your organization? High-profile advocacy is very demure, very classy… But I hope the commitment for progress isn’t just a trend/ cause du jour but something that sticks and drives lasting impact, both nationally and locally.

Award-winning Communications Professional | Crain’s NY Business 2023 Notable Leader in Advertising, Marketing & Public Relations
Great clients = great coverage! To all business owners and non-profit organizations, I want to emphasize the importance of public relations and marketing communications. Let me share with you a success story of The Knowledge House, a non-profit organization I began representing three years ago with their national expansion (big thanks to Jerelyn Rodriguez and former employee Antoinette G..) I was chosen as their PR consultant because of my effective strategies in storytelling. I didn't limit myself to media relations but also utilized different ways to reach different audiences, including award submissions. My efforts paid off when Jerelyn Rodriguez, founder of The Knowledge House, was recognized with the Nexstar Media Group, Inc. "Remarkable Woman of The Year" award, which led to national media coverage, a trip to L.A. for Jerelyn, and a $10,000 donation to the organization on their 10th anniversary. Investing in PR and marketing communications with the right people and agencies is crucial. Value their experience and guidance. #PR is a marathon, not a sprint.
🌟 We're thrilled to announce that Jerelyn Rodriguez , CEO & Co-Founder of The Knowledge House, has been named 2024 Remarkable Women winner by Nexstar Media Group, Inc. and PIX11. During a ceremony at the Loews Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles, Jerelyn was honored for her dedication to teaching coding and digital skills in underserved communities, ultimately aiming to lift people out of poverty by preparing them for high-paying tech jobs. https://bit.ly/3JdQXYl In recognition of her outstanding work, Pix11 has donated $1,000 and the Nexstar Media Charitable Foundation has donated $10,000 to Jerelyn and The Knowledge House. Remarkable Women, now in its fifth year, celebrates the influence of women on public policy, social progress, and quality of life in the United States. If you'd like to meet Jerelyn, come on by to our Atlanta Open House✨https://bit.ly/4aPrnEY
And Nexstar’s 2024 Remarkable Women winner is…

Despite all of the power and potential of feminist movements for decades, feminist movements have been under-resourced. Today, less than 1% of philanthropic funding goes to feminist movements and activists. Yet, when money comes into the hands of womn and activists they have the power to drive change on some of the most pressing rights issues of our time. Watch “𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐬 𝐖𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲”, a documentary short film on the change that is possible when womn take the lead, produced by our sisters at Urgent Action Fund for Feminist Activism https://lnkd.in/eBqWbEVs
