It’s that time of year…not just early voting…early MOVEMBER! We’ve had enough campaigning at this stage, but next Friday we campaign for a different reason - Men’s Health. Click here to learn: https://lnkd.in/ejGMn-9W - How you can help prevent men from dying by suicide every minute of every day - How you can support the 10.8M men facing a prostate cancer diagnosis - End to testicular cancer, the most common cancer among young men - Why I’m so committed to helping the Movember fund every year (click through the pictures to see just how committed I’ve been in the past!) As always, I’ll start doing my part next Friday to raise awareness. I hope I can count on you to do yours. Thank you in advance!

Let’s talk about last week… As many of you know, I’ve been connected to The Ladder Alliance for several years now. For those who aren’t familiar, The Ladder Alliance serves survivors of domestic violence through education and employment opportunities. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to visit the website or reach out to me—I’d be happy to share more details. https://lnkd.in/gNpKUWEX My initial connection was through Proxxy as a corporate sponsor. At that time, we had a pipeline in place for graduates to join us after earning their certifications. When Proxxy pivoted and that position was no longer available, I was invited to join the board. Our first major goal was to transition the board from a working board to a true governance board. Over the past year, we successfully made that transition, guiding the organization through both incredible milestones and challenging moments. Earlier this year, we formed an M&A committee to explore a potential merger with another nonprofit. Last Friday, at our annual gala, we were thrilled to announce that The Ladder Alliance is merging with One Safe Place. The missions of both organizations align perfectly, and One Safe Place has been a fantastic partner of The Ladder Alliance for many years. All the programs we offer will continue, ensuring the women who rely on our services receive even better support. This is an exciting new chapter for The Ladder Alliance, now known as a program of One Safe Place. We celebrated in style last weekend—first at The Ladder Alliance’s final gala and then at One Safe Place’s Safe City Party Under The Stars. The future is bright for everyone involved, and I’m excited to see the long-lasting impact this merger will have on Fort Worth for generations to come. The Ladder Alliance Proxxy
