Next up was the CEO Summit hosted by Stacy London of State of Menopause. This event was for the leaders of the industry to connect and share so we can continue to push the space forward and meet more women looking for solutions to midlife concerns. It was so inspiring and powerful to be in a room with female founders (and one guy!) who are doing good and making waves in the business of menopause.
On Wednesday, we had a double header. First we made a trek to Times Square to see our philanthropic partner, LetsTalkMenopause.org's amazing ad, "When It's Never Sweater Weather. Seeing menopause called out in one of the most visited places in the world was a pinch me moment!
And the week culminated with a panel discussion from our friends at Caire Beauty and Hot Flashes and Cool Topics, when they hosted The Marvelous Mrs. Menopause event on the 74th floor of the World Trade Center. Panelists included Dr. Carol Kuhle of The Mayo Clinic, Ann Garnier of Midday Health, Veronica Webb, Denise Pines of Tea Botanics, Laura Crain of Perry, Donna Klassen of Let's Talk Menopause, Stacy London, and Jennifer Walsh. Meeting all of our partners in person was such a treat and the energy in the room was palpable.
Overall, it was a FANTASTIC week! We came away with an even bigger sense of mission, and can't wait to bring you more cutting-edge education, partnerships, and exciting offers in the coming months!
