Lessons from Leaders: Featured Guest Ann Warner, CEO of WREN
Welcome back to Lessons from Leaders. This week, we are with Ann Warner, CEO of Women’s Rights and Empowerment Network - WREN.
“It is a privilege to be a CEO but it is also lonely, hard and exhausting. To try and figure it out where there is no formula, where the work is difficult — we are working on reproductive rights, economic dignity and justice, fighting against abortion bans and anti-trans bills….This is a tough context to do this.”
Ann is driven, enduring, flexible, and beautifully well-spoken. Talking to her about, what I claimed is her spiral to WREN, was nothing short of inspired.
It is tough. The work is tough. The more leaders I have the opportunity to sit down with, the more I am aware of how hard these organizations work to fight for justice, peace, equality, etc., which is taxing on both the mind and body daily. It is the grit and the grace that Ann demonstrates that I cherished in our conversation, and I look forward to you hearing it!
Ann Warner leads strategic visioning and planning for WREN in partnership with the Board of Directors, as well as management of a talented team, resource mobilization, and program and policy development and evaluation.
