The 2024 Future Female Leaders Gala was a night that truly embodied the spirit of empowerment, leadership, and community. Set against a backdrop of elegance and excitement, this year’s event celebrated the inspiring young women who’ve spent the past six months dedicating themselves to growth, resilience, and impact through the Future Female Leaders Signature Program.
The energy in the room was electric, and that’s thanks to YOU, our guests! Each person brought a unique vibe, contributing to an atmosphere of enthusiasm and encouragement that made the night unforgettable. From heartfelt conversations to lively cheers, the entire evening was a powerful testament to the strength and potential within our FFL community.
Celebrating the Class of 2024: Young Women Leading the Way
A massive shoutout to our incredible 2024 graduates – you all blew us away with your passion, dedication, and drive! Over the past six months, these young women have juggled school, extracurriculars, family, and friendships while immersing themselves in workshops, learning sessions, and mentorship programs. They’ve demonstrated exceptional resilience and adaptability, seamlessly incorporating leadership learnings into their daily lives.
Not only did they show up; they also showed their commitment to real change by creating social impact projects that addressed one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). These initiatives reflect their own vision for the world and commitment to making a difference, and the ripple effect of their work has been profound. The personal growth they’ve undergone is nothing short of transformative, and the impact they’re already making in their communities is an inspiration. Congratulations to these remarkable young leaders!

Highlights from an Unforgettable Evening
The night was flawlessly hosted by the talented MC, Lanna Hill from Leverage Media, who struck the perfect balance of wit and charm to keep us entertained and engaged throughout the evening. Her energy set the stage for an inspiring series of speakers and performers.
We also had the privilege of hearing from our dedicated directors, Claire Seeber, Emma Burdett, and Karen Dennett, who shared insights into the program’s growth, the impact it’s creating, and their hopes for the future. Their passion for empowering the next generation of female leaders was evident and energizing.
Our keynote speaker, Jess Karlsson, took the stage with an unforgettable talk, kicking off with a quick rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” before introducing us to her own “RCPV” – Resilience, Compassion, Purpose, and Vision – her four essential leadership traits. Jess’s heartfelt story and her journey of resilience and empowerment left us inspired and ready to take on new challenges. Her message resonated with everyone in the room and reinforced the core values of the FFL.
