The

who are not just at the forefront of their respective fields, but also deeply
engaged in their communities – driving change for good,” said Fernandes. “Devereux
has a long and rich history of empowering and supporting women in leadership
positions. From our organization’s founder, Helena
T. Devereux, to members of our senior leadership
team, women have always played a critical role in advancing our mission to
change lives. I am proud to extend that legacy as a member of the Forum to help
inspire progress in the Philadelphia region and beyond.”
