NEW’s Legacy Project Poses Big Questions

The Network of Executive Women has launched The NEW Legacy Project, an online contest that will honor the consumer products and retail industry’s most inspirational leaders and gather legacies that members are living and leaving to others.

The most inspiring legacy statements and photos will be shared at the NEW Executive Leaders Forum, July 21 to Aug. 2 in Los Angeles. Industry members who contribute by July 20 can win $500 or 50 other prizes. Contributions may signed or anonymous. Visit the NEW Legacy Project website or Facebook page to enter.

“The NEW Legacy Project is about the legacies you’ve been given, the ones you live today and the ones you'll pass on to the next generation,” said NEW President and CEO Joan Toth. “The Network will share the industry’s responses to help our members and others create a vision for themselves and inspire their colleagues in the CPG/retail industry.”

The NEW Legacy Project asks industry members to describe the legacy they would like to leave; honor someone who changed their life; honor a leader who has left a lasting legacy to the industry; vote for an inspirational female figure who has inspired them; or submit a photo.

One randomly selected grand-prize winner will receive a $500 American Express gift card. Fifty other winners will receive a brushed metal 4-by-6-inch “My Legacy” photo frame. Participants must be 18 years old and a member of the consumer products and retail industry to enter. The NEW Legacy Project is not associated with Facebook and is administered by North Social.
