Friday, March 8 is International Women’s Day and this year’s theme is #BalanceforBetter, celebrating women’s achievements, raising awareness against bias, and taking action for equality. A balanced world is a better world and the Ann Richards School is taking action to empower students to engage with the business community to help create the pipeline for the next generation of leaders.

Here are three ways our Stars are engaged in the business community.
