Join us for the third installment of our Masterclass series, co-hosted with Singapore Global Network (SGN) and Supermomos. Through this series, we plan to feature some of the GOATS (Greatest of All Time) in various fields and have them share their knowledge with New York City’s top industry leaders.

Our third masterclass focuses on Leadership & Diplomacy, featuring Ambassador Chan Heng Chee, Ambassador-at-Large with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Singapore. Previously, Ambassador Chan was Singapore’s Ambassador to the United States for 16 years and Singapore’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations. She was the first woman ambassador from an East Asian country to be appointed to the United States. She also held concurrent accreditation as High Commissioner to Canada and Ambassador to Mexico.

The masterclass will include Professor Chan's reflections on strategic leadership, the art of diplomacy in high-stakes negotiations, and how these skills drive success in sales and entrepreneurship.

After Professor Chan’s masterclass, there will be time for interactive Q&A, followed by networking with other executives and leaders.

Complimentary light bites and drinks will be provided.

Join us for an inspiring evening as we celebrate the strength and resilience of the over 2,000 survivors whom Womankind supports on their paths to healing.

The evening will feature and recognize the profound commitment of two exceptional leaders, Kavita Ramdas, and Jennifer H. Wu, whose advocacy has greatly contributed to advancing gender equity and racial justice.

For 42 years, Womankind has been a leader in providing multilingual and culturally responsive services to help survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual violence overcome trauma.

With one in three women experiencing physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, this gala aims to raise awareness and support for ending gender-based violence in our communities.

We hope you'll be part of this meaningful evening.
