We will be gathering in a new, female-focused innovative workspace and hearing from an amazing panel of other women trailblazers including Senator Jill Schupp, Volunteer Extraordinaire Lynn Lyss, and Entrepreneur Stacy Taubman, founder of RISE Collaborative.

TRAILBLAZER Vivian Zwick has been heralded as a key figure in our community for more than 80 years. She began volunteering at age 15 at the Jewish Hospital. She has been a frontline warrior for reproductive freedom and serves as Director Emeritus with Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri. Vivian was president of the Jewish Hospital Auxiliary Board, has volunteered with Jewish Federation of St. Louis, Burns Recovery Support Group, and was the first female president of the Jewish Light. Even now, she stays involved in the Jewish Federation of St. Louis and is active in political causes.
