Presenting Sponsor

Our 2023 Presenting Sponsor is Summit Credit Union! We are honored to partner with an organization led by a woman, Kim Sponem, and which has a demonstrated and long-standing commitment to helping women and addressing the gender pay gap. As Kim has explained, “when women succeed and have equal economic power, everyone benefits. Families, communities, businesses and economies thrive.” We at She Stands Tall couldn’t agree more!
