Visionary Women hosted its International Women’s Day Summit on March 6 at Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel. The event drew a sold-out audience of more than 500 attendees. Co-founded by Beverly Hills City Councilmember and three-times mayor Lili Bosse and Angella Nazarian a decade ago, Visionary Women brings together top women leaders across many sectors ranging from business, politics, and medicine to media and the arts, to drive social impact and effect change for pressing issues facing women and girls. Since its founding, the organization has awarded grants totaling $3 million to over 200 nonprofits benefiting those groups. Visionary Women selected Sharon Stone as the 2024 Changemaker of the Year for her ongoing philanthropy and leadership.
The program began with the Hon. Nicole Avant and Gwyneth Paltrow taking part in a “fireside chat” on the topic of mother/daughter legacies. Avant commemorated her birthday and that of her late mother, Jacqueline, the beloved Beverly Hills philanthropist.
