TXWF Board Chair Cris Zertuche Wong said: “Christine Baranski’s platform aligns perfectly with Texas Women’s Foundation, and we are excited to welcome her to Dallas. Her unapologetic advocacy for female empowerment and her drive for equal educational opportunities, equal pay and equal rights paint a transformative portrait of what it means to advocate for others.”

To celebrate TXWF’s 40-year legacy of impact, this year’s event co-chairs are leaders who represent the Foundation’s four decades: Gail Griswold and Brenda Jackson (1980s), Laura Estrada (1990s), Helen Frank (2000s) and Shonn Brown (2020s).

Texas Women’s Foundation President and CEO Karen Hughes White added: “As we celebrate our 40th year, we also celebrate our 19 diverse and determined Founders whose vision for an equitable society in which women and girls could fully participate has guided us since inception. We’ll also be celebrating more than $85 million invested in transforming the lives of Texas women and girls.”
