Rayona Sharpnack and the Institute for Women’s Leadership have been featured in a variety of business and mainstream publications.
Television Coverage
Our Guys Who Get It Awards was profiled in January 2017 on CBS’s San Francisco affiliate — and their excellent reporting and filming did us all proud. They helped us spread the message of Gender Partnership and gave our “Guys” some well-deserved airtime!
