Allison Wright
Founder & Executive Director
While women are active members of the workforce, few hold senior leadership positions. Allison Wright saw this as an opportunity to effect change and develop women at a younger age. Thus, in 2014, E-School for Girls was created with the help of social impact partners. Its mission is to support leadership and entrepreneurship for women.
