This year’s national theme, Women Leading the Change, focuses on the ways women contribute to progress in fields such as education, media, technology, and public service.

At HITN, women play key roles in shaping programs and initiatives designed to expand educational opportunities and strengthen community engagement. For our organization, their perspectives and leadership help ensure that its work reflects the experiences and needs of the communities it serves.

As part of the observance, HITN is honoring Maryann Marrapodi, the organization’s Chief Learning Officer.
