Crain’s hosted its second annual Women of Influence luncheon on May 1 to recognize some of the city’s leading ladies. The event, held at the Marriott Marquis, brought together a group of more than 250 to celebrate this year’s 11 individual honorees, including Kathryn Wylde, president and CEO of the Partnership for New York City; Julie Tighe, president of the New York League of Conservation Voters; Michelle Morse, the city’s chief medical officer; and FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh.
Crain’s also recognized women and organizations who were nominated as mentors, rising stars and women-forward workplaces for their role in building a business community where women can grow.
Among the honorees was actress and labor leader Fran Drescher, whose keynote speech encouraged the crowd to embrace qualities like empathy and vulnerability that are typically discouraged in leadership positions.
