Hedley May, a leading executive search firm focused on critical corporate functional roles, is proud to announce its $100,000 donation to Girls Inc. of New York City, a nonprofit delivering life transforming programs to girls, young women and gender-expansive youth throughout New York City. This generous donation will support Girls Inc. of New York City's Personal Branding Program, a key component of Project Accelerate—an initiative designed to place young women in influential leadership roles.
“Nurturing the next generation of talent isn’t just important—it’s essential,” said Laura McPhail, co-founder of Hedley May. “As we work to place the right executives in key leadership positions, we recognize the invaluable foundation Girls Inc. of New York City is building for future women leaders and are proud to support their specialized programming.”
Driven by their shared priorities, Hedley May and Girls Inc. of New York City have worked with each other for over five years through various volunteering and sponsorship initiatives, and this donation helps further solidify Hedley May’s commitment to the organization, especially as representation remains a cornerstone of the firm’s ethos.
“We are thrilled to expand the reach and impact of our programs” said Lily Chang Chief Strategy Officer at Girls Inc. of New York City. “With Hedley May’s continued support and generous donation, we can strengthen our initiatives and create even more opportunities for young people to achieve lasting success—not just for themselves, but also for their families, neighborhoods and communities.”
Girls Inc. of New York City’s Personal Branding Program provides support to young women and gender-expansive youth via holistic programming including mentorship, internship opportunities, professional development workshops, networking opportunities and access to educational resources. Participants will also learn how to shape their unique brand to build confidence and maximize their impact in the office, on social media, in interviews and in other professional and social settings.
