“It is a true privilege to serve on the LILY Network. I have treasured spending time in Boys & Girls Clubs over the years, getting to know the children and sharing in their growth and development. With everything going on all around us in the world today, this new network presents a unique, timely opportunity to walk shoulder to shoulder with our young girls in the Clubs, helping them to feel empowered and to reach their full potential.”

Gina Fenton

“I’ve always been impressed with the important role Boys & Girls Clubs has played in local communities, but I’m particularly excited to be part this new initiative, the LILY Network. Encouraging young girls to set goals for themselves, follow their dreams and pursue leadership roles is extremely important. Anything we can do to inspire more girls to become leaders in their community is a move in the right direction! I’m confident that the more people learn about the LILY Network, the broader the organization will become.”

Lauren Schwartz

“Now more than ever I am committed to young women and girls having a clear path to leadership. I believe this starts with girls taking themselves seriously: No more apologies for being competitive, for being achievers, or simply for having the drive to succeed. As long as you compete, achieve and succeed with honesty, integrity, and a healthy sense of humility, then you have nothing to apologize for, and you should never demur from the opportunity and indeed, the responsibility to lead.”

Carolyn Craig

“It is both a privilege and a pleasure to be part of the LILY Network. I am proud to have been involved with the amazing Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver for several years, and I have always been encouraged by the enthusiastic, hard-working and positive young people I have met in the Clubs. As an Influencer, I want encourage young girls to continue to believe in themselves and to help them to understand how to connect with support networks of successful people from all backgrounds.”

Kendall Carbone

“I am thrilled be a part of the LILY Network after having served on the BGCMD BOD in years past. The mission of LILY to help shine a light on issues facing girls in their pursuit of equal access to opportunity is one that is near and dear to my heart. My hope is that we can grow the amount of women who provide support and leadership opportunities so that girls are able to realize their full potential.”
