Throughout March, we honored and celebrated Women’s History Month, with a focus on fostering inclusive discussions, hosting internal celebrations, and attending sponsored external events. Internally, our International Network of Women Community Resource Group (INOW CRG) hosted several local office events. Meanwhile, other employees joined their local communities to engage in conversations about women’s health.
The New York office invited all employees to decorate cupcakes, engage in open discussions about gender equality, and pledge their commitment to inclusivity year-round, while Boston carried meaningful conversations and catered cookies from a local woman-owned business. These events were light-hearted yet deeply impactful, as participants shared personal stories and diverse perspectives.
The Washington, D.C. office hosted an activity titled “Give Her Flowers” to celebrate CrossCountry’s amazing women colleagues. Employees were encouraged to stop by the kitchen and pick up a flower as a token of appreciation for everything these colleagues do. The local team also encouraged everyone to leave “flowers” in the form of words of affirmation, encouragement, or compliments for other women. It was a wonderful event that spread positivity and fostered a sense of community.
CrossCountry proudly sponsored The Women’s Board of the American Heart Association’s 77th Annual Affair of the Heart Luncheon and Fashion Show. Women from the Operations Department participated in the event, supporting a cause that empowers women, fosters connections, and raises awareness about heart health. The luncheon, which included a stunning fashion show sponsored by Bloomingdale’s, was a day filled with purpose, community, and celebration.
“It was an honor to attend the luncheon and fashion show with my fellow Operations teammates. Supporting such a meaningful cause while learning from powerful women across a myriad of industries was an amazing opportunity that I am forever grateful for.” – Rubye Egley, Senior Marketing Coordinator
Aimee Stafford, a Private Equity Partner and Anjali Khullar, a Business Transformation Director both attended the With Intelligence Women’s Private Equity Summit earlier in the month in Arizona on behalf of CrossCountry. They joined industry leaders to discuss the company’s asset management and private equity solutions. The summit focused on collaboration, experiential networking, and deal-making. It was an invaluable opportunity for these leaders to deepen their knowledge, exchange ideas, and contribute to developing a forward-looking program. CrossCountry also provided branded travel kits in the sponsorship lounge, along with complimentary CrossCountry lip balm in guests’ “Welcome Bags.” The event was an excellent opportunity to highlight CrossCountry’s commitment to elevating female leaders and breaking barriers for women in the Private Equity and Asset Management industries.
“The Women in Private Equity Summit is a fantastic opportunity to engage with women in the industry. It was 3 days of women elevating women – with powerful panels on topics permeating through the industry and networking opportunities to discuss managing priorities outside of the office – I was energized by the conversation and connection.” – Anjali Khullar, Business Transformation Director.
“It was incredibly inspiring to be part of the 1,300+ women attending the summit coming together to network, collaborate and grow based on our shared experience in private equity.” – Aimee Stafford, Private Equity Partner.
