"I believe that in honoring our women leaders, and by supporting
a girl's ambition and hope, we are validating ourselves.

ABF is founded on a conviction that vision and dedication will inspire
us all to reach beyond our wildest goals. And at the end we will
arrive together."

~Ann Bancroft, Founder of the Ann Bancroft Foundation
