Announcing the 2018 NYC Cohort!
I am thrilled to introduce you, our friends and followers, our 2018 New York City cohort! This year we are joined by 27 women who embody the mission of Tide Risers: to prove that when we support and uplift one another, we all rise.
The New York City 2018 cohort includes psychotherapists, entrepreneurs, communications pros, film makers, playwrights, non-profit and foundation leaders, attorneys, community organizers, researchers, local government staffers, and marketers, just to name a few.
They are thoughtful, mission-driven, community-minded women who are going to play a role in making the world a better place for the next generation. In short, they are Tide Risers.
This past weekend the New York City cohort kicked off our work together with a day-long retreat that set the stage for our Tide Risers experience — an experience designed to support members along their journeys to pursue their next major accomplishments. You could feel the enthusiasm in the room as we all got to know one another, and we're so excited to see this cohort grow and learn together.
Please join me in welcoming these fabulous women. They join a growing community of Tide Risers, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have them with us.
