“WiT’s mission has always been to help women advance in their careers — including in the moments that don’t go according to plan,” says Janice Ross, WiT president and managing partner, Brand Fresh Management. “The last 18 months have been a really challenging time for our industry. I know it’s cliche, but now — more than ever — we need to be there for each other, and that’s what being a member of WiT is all about.”
