ABOUT THE PRESENTATION
Cecilia Guthrie Boone and her husband, with other partners, founded The Container Store in 1978. The financial success of that business started Ms. Boone on a journey that has brought her from the temptation to accumulate more things to the liberation of strategic philanthropy. She has learned to evaluate her choices in giving in terms of long-term impact rather than just short-term need. In this heart-felt presentation, Ms. Boone discusses her personal journey of giving and supporting other women to become true agents of social change in their communities.
