ALBANY, NY – 

The Women’s Fund of the Capital Region is excited to announce that the 2021 Trailblazers luncheon event will be held via Zoom on Friday, March 12, 2021 from Noon to 1:30 pm.


Given the times and concern about keeping everyone safe during the pandemic, this signature luncheon event will take on a different format.


Three of our Trailblazers will join us to present an empowering and insightful program: Blazing Trails Through Extraordinary Times: A Virtual Panel Discussion.


Our panel includes:
• Dr. Dorcey Applyrs, Chief City Auditor, City of Albany
• Mona Golub, VP Public Relations & Consumer Services, The Golub Corporation
• Denise Gonick, Principal, Cross Sound Concepts


They will share how they are navigating through the pandemic and beyond in a timely conversation moderated by Benita Zahn, DPS, WNYT NewsChannel 13 Anchor.


During the event we will also share stories from The Women’s Fund scholarship winners as well as updates of our program activities.


During the week of the virtual event, there will be opportunities to view and bid on Silent Auction items via 32Auction.
