25 years of impact, celebrated in the most beautiful way. 💛

Women's Initiative was deeply honored to be recognized at the United Way of Greater Toledo's Campaign Celebration yesterday.

This anniversary belongs to every woman who has ever been part of our community.

We were so grateful to be joined by founding members Kimberly Danes and Sara Jane DeHoff for this special recognition. Their courage and vision 25 years ago planted the seeds for everything we have grown into today. Thank you for being there with us. 💙

And a huge congratulations to Jessica Biggs, recognized as an Outstanding Advocate for her exceptional service.

To describe Women in Leadership in one word... it'd be impossible. Because what happens in that room is so much more than a single word can hold. It's connection. It's inspiration. It's women showing up for each other in the most powerful way.

We hope to see you May 13.

Last but certainly not least, meet the woman keeping our panelists on their toes! 🎤

We are thrilled to welcome back Claire Mitchell, weekday morning anchor at 13abc, returning for her second year as moderator of the Women in Leadership panel!

A Bowling Green State University alumna, and now a familiar face on Toledo's morning news and a recipient of the Ohio APME Rising Star Award, Claire is a force in local media who brings energy, poise, and powerful storytelling to everything she does.

She was a hit last year, and we can't wait to have her back at the helm for what is sure to be an unforgettable evening.

Meet your next Women in Leadership panelist — Julia Hage!

If the name sounds familiar, it might be because Julia was just a featured speaker at TEDxBGSU 2026, where she delivered her powerful keynote "The Walk Away Warrior | Thriving while Surviving."

Julia is the CEO & President of ., LLC, a professional speaking and engagement firm built around one core belief: that authentic, wholehearted living changes everything — personally and professionally. With over 20 years of presentation and performance experience, she's the kind of speaker who doesn't just inform a room. She moves it.

Her work helps individuals step into a more authentic life and guides business leaders to walk away from the projects, partnerships, and patterns that are quietly draining their teams — and their bottom line.

We are beyond excited to have this rising leader who's taken our community by storm with her infectious spirit and attitude.

Come to hear her speak on May 13!
