Work on the revision has begun with help from an expert advisory circle of professional women.
I’d like to introduce you to these extraordinary women who are giving their time, experience, and expertise out of the generosity of their hearts and their interest in the work. This is a perfect example of a currency of the heart gift. I am deeply grateful to Rhoda Blough, Christina Burke, Elizabeth Cox, Susan Filan, Janice Jsu, Joanne Kabak, and Trudelle Thomas for sharing their wisdom.
