Foundation president Becky Brooks comments, “A Gracie Award can affirm a voice, elevate a career and open a door. For our student winners especially, it can be a moment that says, ‘You belong here.’ Through the Gracies, we are not only celebrating excellence – we are helping create the opportunities that strengthen the future of women in media.” Pictured above (from l-r) are Gloria Steinem, Amy Richards, and Better Business Bureau global CEO Rebekah Dopp after Dopp presented the two with the inaugural Gracies Torch Award.  to Amy Richards and Gloria Steinem. “The most important measure of leadership is not what we accomplish for ourselves, but what we make possible for others,” Dopp said. “Amy and Gloria have spent decades showing us that leadership is a torch to carry together.”
