Trust in American institutions is at an all time low. The solid, steady, strategic leadership of Gail McGovern has transformed the American Red Cross, modernizing every function, while ensuring continued faith in our lifesaving mission. We need such trust now, more than ever. We live in a warming world that is causing unimaginable devastation, and amidst a civil society facing increasing threats, which raises the need for blood, training, and community support. Due to Gail’s leadership, the American Red Cross is a future-focused, self-improving humanitarian organization committed to equity. Impact, and transparency. This is a remarkable legacy and a fine example of trust. American Red Cross

Congratulations to Gail McGovern on her upcoming retirement and a truly extraordinary career. I have never been as inspired by a leader as I was by Gail when I had the pleasure of working under her team at the American Red Cross. Gail not only turned around an organization that was struggling financially, she also managed to centralize and bring efficiencies, grow donations, bring amazingly innovative approaches to blood collections in order to help more patients in need, to name a few. It also amazes me that as the humanitarian need grew with the impacts of climate change – worsening wildfires, rise in number and strength of hurricanes and tropical storms, an increase in tragic shooting events that impacted all corners of the nation…Gail strategized, pivoted, innovated and worked tirelessly to meet the needs of those served by the American Red Cross. She also cared deeply about her employees. Entering into COVID with a new baby at home and adjusting to life as a family of 5 – I teamed up with two other amazing colleagues who were also moms. We believed, and were hearing from other employees, that the American Red Cross should have a paid parental leave – for new parents, but also for our “sandwich” generation, increasingly caring for both their children and aging parents. Gail assembled her leadership team, they listened to us, they asked us thoughtful questions, they allowed us to make recommendations for the plan and shared with us they also believed it was important and had been having conversations. In mere months, the plan was designed, announced and implemented for American Red Cross employees everywhere. I will always carry with me – and it has left an indelible mark on my heart – a quote Gail used often when working with employees on projects and initiatives: “It's okay to make a mistake; just try not to make the same mistake twice." To me that meant, have the courage to dare greatly without reservation about what happens if you fail. Flop. Come up short. It’s okay to be scared. BUT DO IT ANYWAY. Without this lesson – without Gail’s quiet resolve and confidence in her people to lead with heart and courage – I never would have taken the risk to follow my life’s path and dream to open a mental health clinic to help others and expand access to mental healthcare across New Hampshire and the country. #SleevesUp #HeartsOpen #AllIn

On September 11, 2001, the world witnessed one of the most devastating acts of terrorism in modern history. The coordinated attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent people. The impact of 9/11 was profound, not only in terms of the lives lost but also in shaping global politics and security measures. It served as a wake-up call, highlighting the vulnerability of nations and the importance of international cooperation in combating terrorism. The memory of 9/11 continues to evoke a sense of loss, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for peace.
As we reflect on the anniversary of September 11th, we continue to remember the lives that were taken and honor the first responders and countless others who displayed immense courage and sacrifice. We will never forget.

Wonderful initiative by Northrop Grumman 👏🏽 Motherhood is an advanced degree in life. Mothers are pillars of strenght no matter how hard things get. When faced with blockers, we figure it out, we fix the problem. We thrive to do more, to do better and learn to organise ourselves and manage our time in the most effective way. As mothers we have to expand, grow and become more. We develop resilience, courage, empathy and patience, all cornestones of leadership. Companies should amend their policies and practices to support an effective return to work, and foster a culture that values and helps moms continue with their career progress. As moms we become less available, but much more capable.
After leaving workforce for 16 years to raise her kids, Sheri returned through Northrop Grumman's iReturn program -- which helped her relaunch her career. Learn more about our iReturn program at http://ms.spr.ly/60479UnjW

On this 22nd anniversary of the 9/11 attack, we take a moment to recall, contemplate and reflect. The occurrences of that day made a deep impact and effect on every aspect of American life, including our jobs, businesses and professions. For some, 9/11 served as a call to service, while for others, it stood as a pivotal moment that permanently altered their life's path. We've heard moving accounts from survivors, veterans, and business leaders about how that day shaped their lives and careers. As we observe this solemn milestone, let's pay tribute to the strength and ability to adjust that define us as a one nation. Our work is not solely about salaries, paychecks and promotions anymore. It's about the significant influence we can exert on our communities and the world, especially in challenging times. Let's use this significant event to engage in thoughtful conversations about the path forward for our country and this whole new world. 𝐖𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲, 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭.

A closed chapter is not a disservice to the world, it is a clear path paved for future generations. Throughout history struggle has been romanticized, portraying that a journey through hardships is the ultimate mark of success... We are here to rewrite the narrative and dismental systems and practices that foster exploitation and injustice. For future generations. In this present moment, we stand against the struggles our forefathers faced in the past.
