What draws you to our cause?
I graduated from an all-girls highschool that changed my life in every positive way. And my mother, who had a career and raised children and traveled the world and earned two master's degrees was a great role model

Hi Mary, Thanks so much for helping to keep EN, a great cause, alive.  I will send an email to my EN contact and copy you.  I will get your email from Anna.  Meanwhile, I've reached out to intern Sophie Kissinger to see if she'll take over the day-to-day.
