From YouTube: Pinnacle Awards 2020
Description
In Back Bay's Boston Marriott Copley Place, the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce celebrates the 2020 Pinnacle Awards in recognition of women in key business leadership roles. This year, Attorney General Maura Healey was among the eight women who were honored.
A
A
I'm
Lisa
Hughes
from
wbz-tv
and
I
am
so
happy
to
be
back
with
you
today
celebrating
these
amazing
honorees
and
the
contributions
they
make
to
our
city
on
this
26th
annual
Pinnacle
Awards.
Those
of
you
who
have
been
here
before
and
I
know
that
is
most
of
you
know
that
I
love
this
event
because
of
the
camaraderie
in
this
room,
the
sense
of
possibility
and
the
inspiration
that
we
get
from
these
honorees
every
single
year
with
their
passion,
their
experiences,
their
humor,
which
always
comes
through
in
their
speeches
and
their
wisdom.
A
I
feel,
like
many
of
you,
I
walk
out
of
here,
a
little
bit
taller
with
a
sense
of
the
collective
power
and
energy
of
this
room,
and
also
the
difference
that
we
can
all
make
as
individuals
in
our
workplace
and
in
our
communities.
I
wasn't
able
to
be
here
last
year
because
of
the
Super
Bowl.
So
if
there
is
one
upside
to
the
Patriots
not
playing
this
year,
although
it
makes
January
a
little
bit
longer
no
question
it's
that
I
get
to
be
here
again
with
you,
and
this
is
such
an
empowering
lunch.
A
That
I
am
just
delighted
to
be
back.
We
are
hoping
to
get
a
little
of
the
buzz
that's
in
this
room
emanating
beyond
the
building.
So,
as
you
take
pictures
today
and
put
things
up
on
social
media,
just
use
the
hashtag
pinnacle
awards
and
then
tag
at
Boston
Chamber,
your
tweet
will
be
retweeted
and
we
can
share
some
of
this
good
energy
with
anyone
who
is
it
fortunate
enough
to
be
here
celebrating
with
us
today?
A
We
will
begin
the
awards
presentation
in
just
a
moment,
but
this
is
definitely
a
working
lunch,
and
so
we
want
you
to
enjoy
this
lunch.
We
aren't
going
to
take
a
break
today
and
we
want
to
take
just
a
moment
to
give
a
big
round
of
applause
to
the
Marriott
staff
for
so
beautifully,
navigating
this
room
and
serving
us
this
wonderful
lunch
today.
A
Thank
you
so
much
and
as
much
as
this
is
hard
for
me,
because
I
so
admire
our
hosts
and
our
honorees
today,
because
I
don't
want
anyone
to
be
celebrating
with
theraflu
and
robitussin.
I
am
going
to
refrain
from
hugging
or
shaking
hands
with
any
of
our
honorees,
because
they
should
enjoy
a
much
more
festive
beverage
in
the
days
that
that
follow
I'm
on
the
back
end
of
this
cold,
but
I
definitely
don't
want
to
share
it.
So
with
more
now
to
kick
off
this
show
in
style.
A
B
Great
good
afternoon,
everyone
and
I
will
be
the
only
male
voice,
she'll
hear
today,
so
we
decided
to
get
that
over
at
the
beginning
of
the
program.
Now
how
many
of
you
have
been
to
a
Super
Bowl
out
there
Lisa?
How
many
of
you
been
to
you've
been
to
more
than
one?
Does
anyone
feel
bad
police'
that
she
didn't
get
to
go
to
the
Super
Bowl
this
year?
B
You
know
the
Patriots
lost
and
it
was
our
loss
last
year,
because
the
Patriots
won
that
we
didn't
have
Lisa
here,
but
it
is
our
great
fortune
that
she's
back
with
us
Lisa.
Thank
you
for
bringing
your
energy
and
passion
for
the
purpose
we
celebrate
today,
which
is
celebrating
Greater
Boston
women.
Please
give
it
up
the
lease
of
you.
B
In
speaking
of
congratulations,
a
big
congratulations
to
our
2020
pinnacle,
honorees,
we're
so
proud
and
fortunate
to
have
you
leading
our
community.
This
program
would
not
be
possible
without
some
real
champions
from
Boston's
business
community
for
our
Women's
Network
and
for
these
pinnacle
Awards.
So

and
her
deputy

Please
join
me
in

B
B
Boston
mayor,
Marty
Walsh
has
made
women's
pay,
equity
and
women
in
leadership
positions
of
priority
during
his
time
as
mayor
and
who's
been
a
regular
attendee
at
this
event,
and
sometimes
we
even
call
on
him
and
put
him
to
work
as
a
presenter.
But
the
mayor
called
me
last
night
to
let
me
know
that
he
had
to
attend
a
funeral
today,
but
asked
me
to
extend
his
congratulations
to
all
of
the
awardees,
but
representing
the
City
of
Boston.
We
are
joined
by
the
new
City
Council
President
Kim
Janie.
B
And
I'd
like
to
give
a
warm
welcome
to
former
state
Rep
Jen
Benson,
who
was
the
new
president
of
the
Alliance
for
business
leadership,
welcome
to
the
business
association
club
Jen,
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
thank
you
for
being
here
today
and
I'd
like
to
give
a
recognition
to
my
friend,
Pat
Wiley,
the
CEO
of
the
partnership
Pratt.
Where
are
you
down
the
back?
There
give
it
up
for
Pratt.
B
I
also
want
to
recognize
our
chairman
of
the
board
at
the
Greater
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce
Paul,
Ayub
who's
joined
by
his
wife,
Jane
and
daughter
Lizzie
today,
and
the
team
from
nuttah
paul.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
you'll,
hear
later
from
the
board
chair
of
our
Chamber
Women's
Network,
Advisory
Board
of
on
Garcia,
who
was
now
in
her
second
year
as
chair,
but
making
a
decade's
worth
of
impact
of
ourn.
Thank
you
for
being
here
now
each
year,
I
get
to
say
something
that
sounds
like
I'm
being
repetitive.
B
Four
years
ago,
I
said
we
had
a
record-breaking
event,
because
there
were
a
thousand
people
in
the
room
and
then
the
following
year.
I
said
it
was
a
record-breaking
event
and
last
year
I
said
it
was
a
record-breaking
event,
but
give
yourself
a
round
of
applause,
because
the
1,300
people
in
the
room
today,
another
record-breaking
Pinnacle
Award,.
C
B
I
know
that
the
reason
we
continue
to
fill
up
this
room
year
after
year
is
not
only
due
to
the
inspirational
journeys
and
influence
of
our
honorees,
but
also
because
of
the
powerhouse
team
that
brings
this
program
together.
So
my
last,
thank
you
and
it's
a
great
big
one
as
to
my
team,
at
the
Greater
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce,
for
putting
their
thoughtfulness
their
time
and
their
effort
into
every
little
detail
of
this
program.
B
Now
our
talented
workforce
is
Boston's
competitive
advantage,
and
we
know
that
50%
of
that
workforce
at
least
is
comprised
of
women
and
we
learn
each
year.
At
this
event,
women
are
making
an
incredible
impact
in
Boston
and
Massachusetts
I
see
the
Chamber's
role
is
leveraging
the
power
of
the
people
in
this
room.
Our
Women's
Network
champions
to
make
Boston
the
best
place
for
women
to
slide
in
all
aspects
of
their
lives,
but
particularly
in
business
and
in
the
workplace.
B
E
F
H
The
network
is
comprised
of
women
from
corporate
America
from
government
for
not
for-profit
companies,
large
and
small,
all
focused
on
building
a
network
and
helping
each
other
to
sit
in
a
room
full
of
amazingly
talented,
successful,
creative,
innovative
and
genuinely
powerful
women
and
middle
allies.
It
was
an
experience
like
nothing
else.
I've
ever
had
before.
C
E
K
F
Thank
you
Jim
and
good
afternoon.
Everyone
as
chair
of
the
Boston
Chambers
Women's
Network,
Advisory,
Board
I'm
honored,
to
be
here
today
to
celebrate
today's
eight
remarkable
honorees
and
to
represent
my
fellow
board
members,
who
are
a
powerful
group
of
influential
women
who
worked
tirelessly
each
day
to
advance
and
recognize
the
contributions
of
our
region's
female
professionals.
They
are
here
with
me
today
and
I
would
like
for
them
to
please
stand
and
be
recognized
for
their
leadership.
F
Thank
you
for
all
you
do
you
know
in
the
video
we
just
played,
you
saw
the
impact
of
the
diverse
and
collaborative
network
of
2,800,
strong
and
growing
by
the
way,
the
impact
that
we've
had
on
women
at
all
levels
across
the
Commonwealth.
As
Jim
said,
we
continued
to
invest
in
the
women's
network
to
grow
not
just
our
impact,
but
also
our
voice
as
leading
Business
Association
for
women
in
business
in
2022.
We
will
continue
our
commitment
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
F
These
are
two
guys
who
just
simply
get
it
and
they're
always
front
and
center
at
all
of
our
women's
forums,
not
only
supporting
us
for
champion
us.
In
fact,
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
do
not
acknowledge
and
thank
the
many
men
that
have
started
to
attend
our
breakfast
each
month.
You
clearly
understand
the
importance
of
not
just
showing
up
but
being
our
champions.
If
we
want
to
make
real
change
for
women
in
the
workplace,
we
need
everybody
at
the
table.
F
Learning
about
the
challenges
and
opportunities
we
face,
I
invite
all
of
you
to
be
part
of
the
Women's
Network
journey
in
2020
men
and
women,
as
we
are
so
much
stronger
together,
but
today
we're
here
to
honor
and
celebrate
women,
and
this
includes
participants
in
our
Women's
Leadership
Program,
which
is
celebrating
its
10th
anniversary.
This
year
may
have
present
and
past
participants.
Please
stand
and
be
recognized.
F
You
are
our
pipeline
for
the
future
Pinnacle
Award
honorees
and
speaking
of
our
pinnacle,
honorees
I'm,
extremely
proud
of
the
diversity
represented
in
this
year's
winners.
They
come
from
all
walks
of
life,
yet
they
have
one
thing
in
common:
their
passion
for
helping
other
women
succeed
and
blocking
their
wind.
Let
me
explain
many
of
their
stories
bring
me
back
to
the
Boston
Marathon
in
2018.
As
some
of
you
may
recall,
we
encountered
freezing
temperatures
and
a
hailstorm.
It
was
one
of
the
most
difficult
marathons.
I
have
ever
run.
F
Now
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
point
I'm
trying
to
make,
but
I
just
really
like
that
statistic.
So
anyway,
on
with
my
story
that
year,
Desiree
Linden
was
the
first
American
woman
to
win
the
Boston
Marathon
in
33
years.
But
what
you
may
not
know
about
that
year
was
that
she
was
close
to
quitting
midway
through
the
race
halfway
through
the
race.
F
She
found
her
fellow
American
female
runner,
chalene
Flanagan
and
told
her
I'm,
not
feeling
that
great,
but
I
want
to
help
you
win
I'm,
going
to
run
in
front
of
you
and
help
block
the
winds
so
that
you
can
get
ahead.
Think
about
that
for
a
moment
how
many
women
have
you
blocked
the
wind
for
regardless
of
your
ability
to
get
ahead,
and
that
is
why
I'm
so
proud
of
the
women
being
recognized
today.
A
Thank
You
Yvonne,
and
that
data
about
the
marathon
in
2018
just
might
make
it
into
my
coverage
this
year.
That
was
pretty
good.
Information
and
I
have
been
to
two
Super
Bowls,
the
first
of
which
I
am
probably
blocking,
because
I
was
in
the
fetal
position
when
they
beat
Seattle.
Remember
on
that
last
play,
it's
all
coming
back
to
me
now
and
they
did
win.
So
that's
the
good
news.
It
is
time
for
our
awards,
presentation
and
our
first
award
is
for
emerging
executive.
Our
recipient
is
Rita
German,
director
of
community
investments
at
John,
Hancock.
A
Rita
has
helped
manage
John,
Hancock's
grants,
portfolio
and
external
engagement
work
with
the
goal
of
creating
a
healthier
and
more
equitable
Boston.
She
also
supports
several
Boston
organizations,
including
minds
matter,
Boston,
more
than
words
and
the
Boston
foundation's
Latino
Legacy
Fund,
to
name
just
a
few
two
other
young
female
leaders
entering
the
workforce.
Rita
offers
this
piece
of
advice.
You
belong
in
every
room
you
have
ever
entered
and
those
you
haven't
gone
into
before
trust
yourself,
Rita
in
recognition
for
your
contributions
to
Boston.
Please
accept
the
2020
Pinnacle
Award
for
emerging
executive.
D
This
is
special
yeah
when
I
first
found
out
I
had
been
selected
to
receive
a
Pinnacle
Award
I
was
overwhelmed
by
so
many
emotions.
I
was
touched
by
the
nomination
by
my
sister
Lourdes
German,
a
future
pinnacle
recipient
in
her
own
right
mark.
My
word,
she's
gonna,
get
it
I
was
honoured
by
the
recognition
for
the
small
role
I
played
in
the
totality
of
the
work
I'm.
D
Most
proud
of
I
was
inspired
by
the
company
of
women,
I'm
recognized
with
all
of
whom
I'm
a
deep
respect
for
their
work,
their
courage
example
and
contributions,
and
truthfully
I
was
a
bit
stunned,
mostly
for
two
reasons.
Despite
being
your
textbook
middle
child,
I
don't
crave
attention
all
that
much,
especially
as
I've
lived
my
life
driven
by
a
deep
desire
to
help
others.
Secondly,
because
ever
again
the
middle
child
I
love
to
process
things
alone
and
quiet
moments,
so
they
took
time
to
process
his
recognition
and
what
it
meant.
D
The
idea
with
pinnacle
seemed
overwhelming
and
ripe
with
meaning
and
I
worked
hard
to
find
and
define
what
it
meant
for
me.
So
the
first
thing
I
did
was
Google
the
definition
of
pinnacle
and
the
as
it
was
defined.
It
quite
wasn't
the
right
fit,
but
it
wasn't
because
it
wasn't
the
most
successful
point
or
culmination
for
me.
However,
metaphorically
speaking,
it
was
a
perfect
place
for
me
to
gain
perspective,
and
it
felt
right
from
this
place.
D
I
was
able
to
reflect
on
what
I
have
learned
about
my
professional
journey,
and
that
is
that
I
did
not
get
here
alone,
as
I
tried
to
think
of
moments
in
my
life
that
defined
me,
I
never
really
didn't
think
about
things,
but
rather
the
people
who
were
there
I
did
not
become
Who.
I
am
in
isolation
from
remarkable
struggle,
remarkable
kindness
and,
above
all,
remarkable
people.
These
three
things
could
take
up
an
entire
program
or,
as
I'd
prefer
a
long
conversation
over
a
good
cup
of
coffee.
D
D
Thank
you,
New
York
raised
me,
but
Boston
made
me
who
I
am
through
it
all
I've
been
so
fortunate
to
have
a
consistent
constellation
surrounding
me
throughout
my
entire
life's
journey.
My
mother
is
an
example
of
hard
work,
resiliency
and
hope,
and
please
indulge
me
in
the
seconds
I
dress
for
directly,
because
she's
here
today.
L
D
Commitment
and
support
my
younger
sister
lisa
is
the
epitome
of
honesty,
partnership
and
diligence.
All
three
of
her
daily
actions
and
support
have
had
an
enormous
impact
on
me
to
lead
with
empathy,
work
with
integrity.
Imagine
fearlessly
and
fail
gracefully.
The
impact
of
their
actions
and
support
have
literally
galvanized
my
courage
to
think
bigger
than
what
I
thought
was
possible
or
that
I
was
capable
of.
D
They
have
been
my
sounding
board
for
career
decisions,
challengers
to
my
way
of
thinking
and
the
catalyst
for
all
that
I've
been
able
to
accomplish
down
to
refining
my
strategy,
introducing
me
to
new
people,
their
new
ideas
and
even
spell
checking
and
editing
my
emails,
memos
and
speeches,
except
for
this.
One
I
wanted
to
be
a
bit
of
a
surprise.
D
So
from
this
vantage
point
after
20
years
in
Boston
and
looking
forward
to
the
next
chapters
in
my
life,
I
know
that
it's
because
of
them
and
everyone
from
my
John
Hancock
family
and
I,
used
that
term
deliberately
and
accurately
when
describing
them
to
the
Boston
community.
That
welcomed
me
and
mentored
me
that
I
am
truly
able
to
believe
in
the
one
piece
of
advice
and
truth
that
all
women,
especially
women
of
color,
must
hold
firmly
to,
and
that
is
to
trust
who
you
are
becoming
be
fully
present
in
every
moment.
D
D
We
all
arrive
at
some
pinnacle
in
our
lives,
some
quite
ones,
and
others
big
in
big
rooms
like
this,
but
always
know
that
you
contribute
in
important
ways
and
are
surrounded
by
people
who
want
to
see
you
thrive
and
succeed,
and
the
most
important
person
is
yourself.
Thank
you
to
the
chamber,
and
my
fellow
honorees
for
sharing
this
moment
with
me.
A
Congratulations,
Rita
and
so
glad
to
have
your
mom
here
too,
and
you
said
that
she
set
a
great
example.
We
all
left
to
our
feet.
Our
next
Pinnacle
Award
is
for
achievement
in

our
recipient
today
is
Ashley
McCown
president
of

which
earlier
this
month
became
Salman,

A
Under
Ashley's
leadership,
Solomon

person
agency
that
delivers
results
to
some
of
Boston's
best-in-class
real

healthcare,
corporate
and
mission
focused
organizations
during
her
30-plus
years
in
public
relations
and
crisis.
Communications
Ashley
has
not
only
built
and
protected
reputations,
but
also
worked
to
mentor
and
develop
the
next
generation
of
leaders.
Ashley
says
one
of
the
most
important
leadership
qualities
to
have
is
empathy.
A
She
says,
leaders
often
need
to
have
conversations
and
make
tough
decisions,
but
that
doesn't
mean
you
need
to
be
harsh
or
tough
when
you
do
them,
Ashley
always
starts
by
putting
herself
in
others,
shoes
and
thinking
about
the
way
that
her
words
will
affect
them.
Ashley.
Thank
you
for
sharing
your
words
with
so
many
people
and
your
leadership
and
congratulations
on
this
year's
2020
Pinnacle
Award.
M
Sarita,
you
made
me
cry
before:
I
came
up
here,
that's
a
hard
act
to
follow,
but
we
have
a
very
special
connection:
Rita
and
I
and
I'm.
So
so
proud
of
you
Rita's
first
job
out
of
college
was
working
with
our
agency
many
many
years
ago
and
when
you
knew
back,
then
what
we
all
know
today
that
she
is
going
places
quite
literally
apparently
going
to
New,
York
and
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Vanessa,
who
is
both
a
client
and
a
great
friend
of
our
firm.
M
It
is
lovely
to
share
the
stage
with
all
of
my
fellow
honorees
I
suspect.
Many
of
us
don't
spend
a
whole
lot
of
time.
Thinking
about
our
accomplishments.
We
just
keep
doing
right.
That's
what
we
do,
but
as
I
did
reflect
on
what
brought
me
here
today.
A
few
things
came
to
mind,
since
my
grandfather
took
me
to
my
first
football
game
when
I
was
five,
because
all
five-year-olds
need
to
understand
a
wishbone
offense
I've
been
passionate
about
sports
sports.
M
Are
an
outlet
for
my
outlet,
for
my
competitive
spirit,
taught
me
the
value
of
teamwork
and
put
me
on
equal
footing
whether
I
was
playing
a
tackle
football
with
the
boys
or
later
on
in
my
career,
staking
my
own
ground
in
a
boardroom
dominated
by
men
going
to
an
all
women's
college.
My
first
date,
Mount
Holyoke
I,
found
a
button
in
the
bookstore,
and
it
said
a
woman's
place
is
in
the
House
and
the
Senate
and
I
knew
from
then
on
that
I
believed.
As
a
woman
that
wasn't
anything
I
could
not
do.
M
25
years
ago
this
month,
I
was
involved
in
my
first
major
crisis,
I
like
to
start
small,
the
shootings
of
the
Planned
Parenthood
clinic
in
Brookline.
What
I
experienced
in
those
early
weeks
with
Helene.
Just
one
highlight
to
share
telling
sam
donaldson.
No,
you
cannot
come
into
the
clinic
and
recreate
the
shootings
for
your
special
tomorrow.
Night
was
a
special
moment,
but
it
forged
my
passion
for
helping
organizations
in
crisis
that
stays
with
me
until
this
day,
leading
and
growing.
The
firm
with
Helene
over
17
years
has
challenged
me
in
ways.
M
M
M
A
Don't
forget
that
Thank
You
Ashley
and
congratulations
next
up.
We

Children's

Dr.
nether
Seoul
offers
the
following
advice
to
young
female
professionals
stay
true
to
yourself.
While
there
are
many
books
and
recommendations
out
there
about
how
women
should
function
in
the
workplace,
you
should
find
your
individual
strengths
and
utilize
it.
A
N
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
introduction.
When
I
was
growing
up
and
in
school,
I,
always
loved
math
and
science.
I
was
naturally
inclined
to
think
about
complex
problems
and
then
to
work
towards
finding
the
best
solutions.
I
was
interested
in
searching
for
answers
and
I
was
driven
to
expand
my
knowledge,
so
that
I
could
help
solve
problems.
I
was
one
of
those
people
who
much
preferred
doing
a
science
experiment
or
a
problem
set
than
writing
a
paper
in
medical
school.
N
However,
I
had
to
learn
how
to
deal
with
uncertainties
and
the
challenges
and
frustration
that
come
with,
sometimes
not
being
able
to
find
an
answer
or
having
multiple
potential
solutions.
The
skills,
knowledge
and
attitudes
that
I
developed
as
a
physician
helped
me
as
I
advanced
throughout
my
career
from
medical
student
to
resident
practicing
physician
and
medical
educator.
Today,
I
am
an
administrative
leader
working
to
advocate
for
and
promote
community
health
within
a
large
hospital
setting.
N
I've
had
to
step
even
more
outside
of
my
comfort
zone,
but
I've
come
to
realize
that
I
can
draw
from
my
experiences
as
a
physician
and
caring
for
patients
having
empathy
for
others
having
flexibility
and
patience,
always
learning
from
experiences
and
assessing
what
worked
and
what
can
be
done.
Better
I
consider
myself
to
be
a
quiet
person,
but
that
doesn't
mean
I
will
shy
away
from
a
challenge?
I
have
discovered
how
to
use
that
trait
and
make
it
into
one
of
my
strengths.
So
my
advice
to
others
is
a
reminder
to
slow
down
and
listen.
N
You
don't
always
need
to
be
the
loudest
voice
in
the
room,
find
out
what
other
people
think
and
what
they
want
to
do.
Encourage
a
discussion
to
bring
out
the
best
ideas.
I
have
found
that
this
approach
works,
whether
I'm
in
clinic
talking
with
a
family
or
in
my
office
when
I'm
tackling
a
new
challenge
with
my
team.
These
are
some
of
the
behaviors
and
attitudes
that
have
helped
me
to
be
successful.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
a
few
minutes
to
share
and
for
recognizing
me
with
this
award.

I
Good
afternoon,
everyone
when
I
started
with
it's
so
great,
to
see
you
all
over
the
course
of
my
journey.
I've
learned
numerous
lessons
about
what
it
means
to
be
a
leader.
No
lesson
version
or
value
has
ever
been
more
important
to
me
that
been
authentic
I
was
born
and
raised
in
San
Juan
Puerto
Rico
and
came
to
Boston
as
a
PhD
graduate
student
in
1992
coming
to
Boston
and
a
very
modest
graduate
student
scholarship,
I,
truly
learned
how
to
face
new
challenges
in
my
life.
I
English,
as
you
may
have
noticed
by
now,
is
my
second
language
and
coming
to
do.
High-Level
rigorous
Graduate
Studies
was
very
hard,
I'm
good
at
math
like
dr.
another
soul,
I'm
good
with
numbers
and
had
great
results
in
my
master
level,
statistics
course
back
home
in
Spanish
I'm,
also
a
good
writer
in
Spanish.
I
But
the
most
challenging
adjustment
for
me
when
I
came
to
Boston
was
to
face
racism
and
microaggressions
I'm,
very
proud
of
him
who
I
am
I'm
very
proud
of.
You
know:
Puerto
Rican
woman,
but
coming
here
made
me
think
about
hiding
my
identity
and
about
trying
to
lose
my
accent.
I
just
wanted
to
fit
in
and
then
at
that
point
I
remember
my
late
mom
telling
me
she
was.
She
told
me
if
you're
not
who
you
are,
who
would
you
be
and
if
there's
a
new
you,
what
will
she
be?
How
would
she
fit
in?
I
Wouldn't
people
learn
from
you
and
appreciate
you
by
being
your
true
self?
What
do
you
help
them?
Expand
their
views
and
their
perspectives?
Wouldn't
that
be
a
wonderful
thing,
be
authentic
mija.
She
told
me
so
here
I
am
standing
in
front
of
you
today
wearing
my
proud
Puerto
Rican
heritage
and
my
proud
prayer,
Rican
culture.
I
And
I'm
here,
extremely
extremely
honored
and
grateful
to
the
chamber
for
elevating
me
to
this
pinnacle
as
I
continue.
My
journey
as
a
part
proper
Rican,
woman
and
I.
Ask
you
to
use
your
power
and
your
platform
to
help
others,
including
our
American
fellow
citizens,
in
Puerto
Rico,
as
they
recover
from
neglect
an
embattled.
I
This
is
truly
a
wonderful
recognition
and
I
want
to
dedicate
this
award.
That's
so
amazing
and
wonderful
to
my
late
mama
and
to
all
of
you,
women
in
this
room,
no
matter
what
you
do,
let's
follow
my
mom's
advice:
let's
be
authentic,
so
gracias,
muchisimas,
mrs.
Ramos,
muchas,
muchas,
muchas
gracias
for
this
wonderful
recognition.

Serving
in
her
second
term,
as
attorney
general
Maura
leads
the
peoples
law
firm
as
the
people's
lawyer
continuing
a
career
spent
fighting
for
justice
and
equal
rights,
she
and
her
team
spent
time
working
on
the
issues
that
matter
most
from
health
care
and
energy
costs,
to
protecting
consumers,
ensuring
equity
for
all
and
keeping
our
communities
safe.
The
Attorney
General
offers
this
piece
of
advice
to
young
leaders
believe
in
yourself,
especially
when
you
are
experiencing
doubts,
embrace
uncertainty,
challenge
and
risk
and
at
all
times
pursue
what
you
are
passionate
about.
A
O
Thank
you
so
much
Lisa
and
Lisa
Hughes
is
so
awesome.
She
gives
so
much
of
her
time
at
so
many
different
events.
This
certainly
been
one.
So
thank
you,
Lisa
for
all
you
do
I.
O
Want
to
start
by
thanking
Jim
Rooney
and
his
amazing
team
at
the
chamber
for
all
that
they
do
certainly
for
this
terrific
event
every
year,
but
you
know
over
the
last
five
years,
I
think
about
Jim
and
his
team
and
our
partnership
on
issues
like
pay,
equity
and
student
loan,
debt
and
I
think
our
work
together
has
really
helped
make
a
difference,
and
I
also
want
to
commend
to
all
the
members
here.
You
know
if
it
weren't
for
you
and
your
support.
In
our
cases
we
wouldn't
have
successfully
defended
the
daca
program.
O
We
wouldn't
have
successfully
fought
back
onerous
immigration
policies.
We
would
not
have
successfully
defended
the
affordable
care
act
and
coverage
for
women's
contraception,
Thank
You
members
of
the
business
community,
for
your
voice,
members
of
the
NGO
community.
We
need
teamwork,
we
need
continued
a
partnership
and
there
is
no
greater
group
than
the
members
of
the
Greater
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce.
Thank
you.
I
also
am
really
inspired
and
awed
by
the
honorees,
the
people
being
honored
today.
O
Really
it's
such
a
privilege
to
get
to
know
some
of
you
with
whom
I
haven't
had
the
the
privilege
of
sitting
and
boy,
what
a
wealth
of
experience
and
intellect
and
and
and
true
gifts
that
we
have
in
this
community
from
so
many
women
recognized
today
and
the
past
honorees,
but,
as
importantly,
all
the
women
out
out
there.
So
that's
that's
a
real
privilege.
Look
I'm
the
wrong
person
standing
here
today.
The
person
standing
here
today
should
be
my
mom.
O
O
Remember
her
getting
up
early
in
the
morning
when
it
was
still
dark
and
she
would
go
down
and
take
care
of
an
elderly
man
down
the
way
and
then
go
on
to
her
job
as
a
school
nurse,
and
she
somehow
managed
to
make
sure
that
we
were
fed
got
to
practice
on
time
that
she
saw
our
games
and
she
really
represented
to
me.
I.
Think
my
first
real
example
of
what
it
meant
to
be
a
strong
woman
and
a
leader.
O
One
thing
she
did
do
early
on
too
was
sold
her
wedding
ring
and
used
the
proceeds
to
put
in
half
a
basketball
court
behind
our
house,
and
some
of
you
know
that,
prior
to
this
log,
gig
I
had
a
career
as
a
basketball
player,
and
you
know
were
it
not
for
my
moms
deliberate
I
think
decision
to
make
sure
that
five
kids
had
a
place
to
play
every
afternoon
out
of
the
house.
You
know
we're
it
not
for
her
commitment
and
support
there.
O
I
wouldn't
have
probably
gone
on
and
played
college
ball
and
played
professionally,
and
you
know
the
fact
of
the
matter
is:
I
probably
won
that
election
back
in
2014,
because
people
saw
a
commercial
where
I
spun
a
basketball.
So
a
lot
to
my
mom
so
I
want
to
thank
her
so
much
and
she
continues
to
inspire,
and
you
know
for
far
too
long.
Women
who
did
too
much
did
not
have
the
recognition
that
they
deserve,
and
this
year
and
the
hundredth
anniversary
of
the
suffragists
movement
I.
O
Think
now
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
lift
up
women
and
elevate
women,
and
I
will
tell
you,
because
it's
become
clear
to
me
that
we
are
only
going
to
succeed
as
a
country
and
as
a
world
and
lessen
until
we
empower
women.
It
makes
better
policy,
it
makes
better
law.
It
makes
better
results.
I've
seen
that
at
my
office,
as
we
were,
the
first
to
Institute
paid
parental
leave,
unconscious
bias
training.
We
brought
on
board
new
policies
around
diversity
and
inclusion
councils
for
new
Americans
race
and
equity
disability
labor.
O
The
majority
of
my
office
is
is
women,
and
that
includes
women,
leadership,
stew,
Anna
litigate.
My
chief
deputy,
is
here
today,
along
with
gay
viateur,
my
chief
of
staff.
It
makes
a
difference.
It
makes
a
difference
and
I
encourage
the
continued
attention
and
and
attentiveness
to
that
here,
because
I
say
with
all
my
heart:
it
does
make
better
policy
and
better
practice.
O
I
also
want
you
to
know
that
in
all
those
cases
that
been
reading
about
the
last
few
years,
our
victory
against
the
NRA,
our
victory
against
Exxon,
our
victory
against
Purdue
in
the
Sackler
family.
Those
are
all
cases
briefed,
argued
and
led
by
women
in
your
attorney
general's
office.
Thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity.
Seeing
is
believing
let's
continue
to
lift
one
another
up,
do
all
we
can
to
support
one
another
and
I
look
forward
to
partnership
with
you
and
the
time
to
come.
Thank
you.
A
A
G
Hello,
everybody,
it
is
so
great
to
be
here
and
I
I'm
in
hats
off
to
the
fellow
honorees
you're,
making
me
cry,
you're,
making
me
laugh,
you're,
making
me
stand
and
applaud.
I
am
humbled
to
be
in
the
same
company
as
you,
both
current
honorees
in
the
past
honorees.
So
thank
you.
So
much
and
I'd
like
to
echo
a
lot
of
what
Maura
just
said
about
the
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce
I,
really
thank
you
for
being
such
staunch
and
visible
supporters
of
advancing
women.
G
I
think
you
Jim,
Rooney,
I,
think
your
team
I
think
the
Women's
Network
advisory
board
and
my
dear
friend
the
chair
of
it
Yvonne
Garcia.
Thank
you
so
very
much.
The
pinnacle
Awards,
in
my
opinion,
is
really
a
testament
to
the
power
of
women's
leadership.
All
the
trailblazing
women
that
are
here
today,
all
their
accomplishments,
the
past
honorees
all
their
accomplishments,
really
what
it
is
a
testament
of.
It's
proof
that
our
organizations
are
companies.
They
are
stronger
and
they
are
better
when
we
have
women
at
the
table.
G
So
I
am
happy
that
my
profession
is
making
strides
in
creating
that
gender
balanced
leadership
framework.
It's
time
for
that,
my
friends
and
I'm
happy
to
be
in
an
organization
where
women
are
respected.
They
are
valued
and
they
are
promoted
into
leadership
roles
that
they
deserve.
But
if
I
was
to
look
over
my
career,
there's
really
three
lessons
that
stand
out.
Three
kind
of
guiding
principles
that
have
helped
me
and
many
of
my
honorees
that
have
just
been
up
here,
have
noted
them,
and
the
first
is
that
attempt
anticipated
it
so
well.
G
I,
remember
earlier
on
in
my
career,
I
failed
miserably
at
this.
I
was
trying
to
emulate
everybody
in
the
room,
and
I
was
always
the
only
woman
and
it
failed
miserably,
and
when
I
really
realized,
you
have
to
bring
that
authentic
self
to
work.
That
authenticity
breeds
Authority,
it's
very
empowering.
So
that
was
a
lesson
that
Vanessa
you
articulated
so
well,
and
then
the
other
would
be.
The
second
would
be
to
take
every
opportunity
you
can
to
jump
outside
your
comfort
zone.
G
We
learn
more
and
we
grow
more
and
I
have
advanced
my
career
more
when
I
took
on
new
roles
and
new
positions
with
a
zeal,
but
the
third.
The
third
lesson
that
I've
learned
I
implore
everybody
in
this
room
to
embrace
you
are
all
a
very
influential
group
of
thirteen
hundred
of
my
closest
friends,
and
that
lesson
is
that
we
all
have
to
be
really
strong
mentors
and
sponsors
of
others.
I
am
so
incredibly
grateful
for
all
the
people
who
helped
me
throughout
my
career
they
lifted
me.
G
They
helped
me
get
to
where
I
am
today
and
I
know.
That
will
continue
to
be
there
for
me,
helping
me
along
the
way.
We
need
to
be
that
type
of
strong
ally
and
advocate
to
others,
and
particularly
our
diverse
friends.
I
am
so
incredibly
happy
that
we're
beginning
to
see
this,
this
groundswell
of
movement
to
advance
women,
I'm
very
happy
about
that
and
I
echo.
What
some
others
have
said
is
that
we're
not
done.
We
have
to
continue,
but
we
are
seeing
progress
and
that's
really
great.
G
We
need
to
see
that
progress
in
other
communities
and
in
particular
people
of
color,
so
I
would
say
that,
as
we
are
all
here
today
celebrating
this
rising
tide,
we
need
to
make
sure
it
lifts
all
boats,
not
just
some
so
I
hope
everybody
in
this
room
will,
you
know,
join
me
and
my
passion,
for
you
know,
supporting
and
being
staunch
advocates
for
diverse
leadership
all
within
your
organization's.
So
thank
you
very
much.
G
A
Thank
You
Jane
and
congratulations.
Our
next
Pinnacle
Award
is
for
achievement
in
the
professions
and
we
are
honored
to
present
the
award
this
year
to
dr.
Jennifer
Tseng
surgeon
in
chief
at
Boston,
Medical,
Center
and
Utley,
professor
and
chair
of
the
Department
of
Surgery,
at
Boston
University
School
of
Medicine,
the
very
first
female
Chief
of
Surgery
in
our
great
city.
A
Doctors
saying
founded
surgical
outcomes,
analysis
and
research
or
soar,
which
is
a
clinical
and
outcomes
Research
Institute,
where
she
explores
the
models
for
cancer
treatment,
sequencing
cancer,
biomarkers
and
healthcare
disparities.
Dr.
Tseng
says
she
drives
her
greatest
professional
satisfaction
from
the
successes
of
the
many
surgical
residents
and
research,
fellow
she's
mentored.
In
fact,
she
says
one
of
her
greatest
leadership.
Strengths
is
her
ability
to
see
the
unique
strengths
in
others
and
help
them
rise
to
meet
their
potential.
A
E
Cushy
fighter
a
happy
year
of
the
mouse,
did
you
did
you
know
it
was
a
mouse
I
think
you'll,
probably
think
of
it
as
a
rat,
but
actually
the
Chinese
word
is
actually
maps
right.
So
all
of
these
years
write
in
English.
We
have
the
tendency
to
choose
the
larger
or
the
more
masculine
to
signify
the
year.
So
I
want
you
to
know
that
it's
it's
the
year.
You
know
things
like
snakes
and
Dragons.
I
guess
don't
have
gender,
but
but
it's
not
the
year
of
the
rooster.
It's
the
year
of
the
chicken.
E
It's
not
the
year
of
the
boar
it's
the
year
of
the
pig
all
right.
So
it's
you
think
about
this
right.
Women
hold
up
half
the
sky
hearing
the
women
hear
talk
about
their
mothers,
I
think
all
of
us,
men
and
women-
pretty
much
would
not
be
here,
would
not
be
who
we
are
without
our
mothers
and
those
that
are
like
mothers
to
us.
So
I
really
want
to
thank
the
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
mr.
Rooney
for
this
opportunity.
All
the
members
of
the
chamber
of
commerce.
E
Right
I,
look
at
people
here,
look
at
my
great
boss.
Kate
Walsh
I
I
have
imposter
syndrome.
What
am
I
doing
here,
so
I
thought
for
the
young
people
for
people
that
are
striving
for
people
that
that
are
trying
to
reach
some
pinnacle
I
put
together
a
few
tips
to
basically
say
what
would
I've
learn
along
the
way
around
all
my
failures
along
the
way.
So
first
don't
spend
too
much
time
worrying
about
how
others
perceive
you.
We
heard
about
implicit
bias.
It
exists.
It's
real,
but
actively
contradicted
by
your
actions.
E
Number
two
have
something
to
say:
have
an
opinion
read
the
paper
get
involved
in
politics.
Group
read
the
paper
all
the
way
through
front
page,
local
business,
sports
leisure,
sit
at
the
table
as
Sheryl
Sandberg,
says,
and
lean
in
sit
at
your
table.
Keep
your
hand
up
right
for
introverts
right.
We
heard
from
Shari
that
people
people
are
thinking
with
themselves
is
quiet.
We
need
to
have
those
people
speak
up.
E
If
you
talk
too
much
like
some
of
the
rest
of
us,
we
need
to
listen
more
consider
how
you
present
to
others
right
eyes
up,
be
direct,
try
to
get
rid
of
the
zand
going
ups
at
the
end
of
sentences
like
a
California
girl,
how
I
was
raised
copy
other
people
right
these
women
and
men
at
the
tables
here,
I
copy
them
they're
people
I've
been
copying.
My
whole
life
here
right,
it's
okay,
pretend
right
number!
Seven
on
my
list
is
pretend
fake
it.
It's
speech
in
debate.
It's
theater!
Nobody
is
confident
nobody.
E
E
You
try
what's
the
worst
thing
that
could
happen,
you
won't
succeed
and
you
learn
something
that
will
help
you
the
next
time,
one
who
never
fails
that
anything
has
never
tried
anything
worthwhile,
finally,
give
others
a
chance,
even
especially
if
they
don't
look
like
you
or
you
think
they
might
not
like
your
kind.
Thank
you
again
to
the
Boston
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
for
all
these
amazing
people
in
the
room.
Thank
you.
A
Just
for
the
record
doctor
saying
I'm
gonna
copy
you
and
if
we
can't
be
cheering
for
the
Patriots,
we
can
cheer
for
a
former
Patriot
in
Jimmy
G.
So
thanks
for
bringing
that
up,
don't
want
to
offend
anyone
who
supports
Kansas
City,
but
there
we
go
Little,
Jimmy
G
shout
out.
It
is
time
now
for
our
final
pinnacle
award
presentation
of
the
day,
and
it
is
the
pinnacle
Award
for
lifetime
achievement,
and
this
special
honor
goes
to
Phyllis
Yale
advisory
partner
at
Bain,
&
Company.
A
I
had
the
pleasure
of
spending
time
with
Phyllis
last
week
and
I
could
have
spent
the
entire
afternoon
with
her.
I
came
back
with
the
tape
that
we
shot
and
our
producer
Jesse
Miller,
said
to
me
after
she
watched
it.
We
could
have
aired
this
whole
thing.
If
we
had
time
it
was
such
a
pleasure
to
listen
to
her,
which
is
the
truth.
Phyllis
has
been
a
leader
in
the
US
healthcare
system.
A
Throughout
her
career
she
joined
Bain
&
Company
in
1982,
where
she
helped
build
Bane's
health
care
practice
led
the
Boston
office
served
on
Bane's
Board
of
Directors
and
held
other
leadership
roles
within
the
firm.
Today
she
continues
to
work
at
Bain
as
an
advisor
to
healthcare
payers
and
providers.
She
also
serves
on
the
boards
of
Blue
Cross
Blue
Shield
of
Massachusetts
bristol-myers
Squibb
and
De
Vita.
She
is
on
the
nonprofit
boards
of
the
Bridgespan
group
and
the
trustees
of
reservations.
A
Phyllis
has
one
single
piece
of
advice
for
all
of
us
in
the
room
today
and
that
is
speak
up.
Phyllis
encourages
you
to
have
the
confidence
to
get
in
the
conversation,
be
pithy
and
make
your
mark.
Don't
wait
for
an
invitation
Phyllis
for
your
more
than
a
lifetime
of
impact
on
your
way
to
continue
to
do
even
more
great
things
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
beyond.
Congratulations
on
the
Lifetime
Achievement
Award
for
the
Chamber
of
Commerce's
Pinnacle
Award.
J
J
Lifetime
Achievement
Award.
What
does
that
even
mean?
I
won't
comment
on
the
meaning
of
life
time
since
I
hope
to
have
a
few
years
left
but
I'd
like
to
reflect
on
the
meaning
of
achievement,
because
looking
back
I
realize
that
it
has
varied
over
time
and
with
the
benefit
of
hindsight,
I
can
separate
my
career
and
therefore
my
definition
of
success
into
four
chapters
phase.
One
was
the
early
years
of
my
career
when
I
had
fairly
conventional
measures
of
success,
satisfied,
clients,
happy
teams,
promotions.
J
That
said,
somebody
else
thought
I
was
doing
a
good
job,
but
mostly
it
was
about
learning
developing
skills,
but
equally
important,
developing
the
confidence
to
speak
up
and
take
my
seat
at
the
table.
Some
folks
are
born
with
the
ability
to
do
this,
even
when
they
shouldn't,
but
I
was
terrified
to
speak
to
a
group
as
small
as
three
people
I.
Remember
my
very
first
job
out
of
college,
giving
my
very
first
speech
to
to
my
boss
and
hyperventilating
running
out
of
breath
as
I
sped
through
my
remarks
over
time.
J
I
practiced
I
prepared,
I
faked
it
until
I
made
it
and
I
used
myself.
Now,
as
a
great
example
that
speaking
with
confidence
is
a
learned
skill,
but
in
summary
phase
one
accomplishments
were
largely
personal
phase.
Two
began
when
I
had
my
first
child
began,
but
the
working
mom
phase
where,
yes,
you
know
I
came
back
to
work
and
had
my
achievements
at
work,
but
I
knew
my
greatest
achievement
was
hanging
on
by
my
fingernails
as
I
tried
to
raise
a
family
and
and
kept
my
career
going.
I
had
a
lot
of
support.
J
J
You
know
what
I
mean
juggling
all
those
balls
all
the
time.
Those
two
columns
to-do
lists
on
the
left.
The
work
which
is
you
know
finish
the
proposal
and
on
the
right
was
the
personal
like
by
Becca
some
shoes
phase
three
was
about
the
firm
Iran
Baynes
biggest
office
helped
enter
new
markets,
served
on
the
board
and
other
governance
committees,
I
managed
to
P&L
through
good
times
and
bad
mentored
partners.
I
played
a
small
role
in
launching
Bridgespan
our
nonprofit
affiliate.
An
achievement
was
institutional,
it
was
about
helping
the
firm
grow
and
prosper.
J
I
also
had
the
opportunity
to
do
those
subtle
organizational
hacks
to
make
women
prosper.
You
can
hack
the
promotion
process
to
make
sure
you
had
enough
women
on
the
committee,
make
sure
you
define
tenure
so
that
part-timers
get
an
even
playing
field.
These
small
things
make
a
difference,
and
so,
while
I
was
the
first
woman
to
be
promoted,
while
on
maternity
leave,
I
can
assure
you
I
was
very
far
from
the
last
and
we've
had
dozens
and
dozens.
Since
then
I
entered
a
phase
four.
J
J
So
I
went
from
defining
achievement
as
personal
to
family
to
institutional
to
societal
and
as
those
definitions
broadened,
of
course,
success
required.
Other
people,
not
only
other
people
on
your
team,
but
other
generations
of
people.
Institutional
success
at
Bain
demands
an
ongoing
talent
machine
and
any
success
in
improving
the
US
healthcare
system
will
require
future
generations
to
carry
on
the
work
so
in
in
winning
this
award
I
thought
long
and
hard
about
what
kinds
of
achievement
qualified
me
to
join.
J
The
ranks
of
these
wonderful
women
who
have
received
it
before
and
I
want
to
do
a
shout
out
to
the
prior
Pinnacle
Award
winners,
who
are
all
over
there,
who
are
absolutely
extraordinary.
In
fact,
previous
honoree
judge
Margaret
Marshall,
who
wrote
the
decision
that
made
Massachusetts
first
in
in
the
country
on
marriage,
equality
and
set
the
platform.
J
For
our
nationwide
marriage
equality
laws
practically
has
a
shrine
in
our
household.
Nothing
I
can
do
to
will
measure
up
to
that,
but
it
does
beg
the
question.
What
will
be
my
legacy
and
I've
decided
that
it
is
found
in
the
people
that
I
have
coached
and
mentored
coaching
and
developing
great
talent
is
the
is
the
one
thing
that
really
lasts
it?
You
know
products
get
outdated,
companies
come
and
go,
but
talent
is
resilient
and
developing
talent
is
the
gift
that
keeps
giving
as
those
people
become
mentors
themselves.
J
That
may
be
my
only
superpower,
and
it
is
the
real
Lifetime
Achievement
I
can
point
to
so:
let's
bring
it
full
circle.
No
one
achieves
anything
alone,
I
am
no
exception.
I
am
thrilled
and
honored
to
accept
this
award
on
behalf
of
all
the
people
who
got
me
here
today,
my
mentors,
my
colleagues
and
mostly
my
family,
congratulations
again
to
all
of
the
honorees
today.
