Along with celebrating the girls, the virtual event will honor 2021 Strong, Smart, and Bold Honoree Marcy L. Reed, National Grid Massachusetts President and Executive Vice President of US Policy and Social Impact.
NBC-10 Boston and NECN anchor and former Strong, Smart, and Bold Honoree Latoyia Edwards will join the celebration as Mistress of Ceremonies. “This year we have honed the art of the virtual experience to offer you an up-close-and-personal look at how we are staying connected with our members in this unprecedented era, helping them become stronger, smarter, and bolder than before,” says Deb Ansourlian, Girls Inc. of Boston and Lynn executive director.
