Network of Executive Women board members completing their terms are Dorria Ball, president and founder of Global Ballance Group; Erby Foster, CEO of Foster Inclusion; Karen Mooney, chief human resources officer for Keystone Foods; and Regenia Stein, principal at Ingenuity Consulting.
“Our members and corporate partners have all benefited from our outgoing board members' tremendous talent and unflagging commitment to gender equality,” Alter said. “Dorria, Erby, Karen and Regenia are strong leaders who haven't just championed women's leadership, they've walked the talk — and NEW has been very fortunate to be part of that journey. We can't thank them enough for their valuable contributions and greatly appreciate their continued involvement and support in their ongoing roles as friends of NEW.”
