New Hampshire Women’s Foundation CEO, Tanna Clews, said, “We believe that business, community, education, political and nonprofit leaders need to think about what they can do to improve the wealth, health and safety of women – changing the paradigm that limits opportunity for women in New Hampshire. By holding up and awarding programs like the Manchester Family Justice Center, the Women’s Foundation helps others understand the challenges that women in New Hampshire face—and that we can work together to find solutions.”
