 Dear Friend,For over fifty years, the women of People’s have had a profound effect on our organization and in the communities we serve.
Founding Executive Director, Jeanette Duncan was one of the first, and for many years the only female CEO (of any company!) along the Central Coast of California. Reflecting the changing professional landscape of the times, the 1970’s saw her in the vanguard of social change, and trailblazing a path for the hundreds of women she employed, and the thousands of residents she housed. Since her retirement just over a decade ago, those she inspired have in turn mentored and encouraged others, a new generation carrying the standard for equity and social justice.
Every day, her legacy shines through in our work in the increasing numbers of female students attending college, the closing of gender pay gaps both for our residents and our staff, and in the structure of our organization. At People’s women currently account for:
- 64% of our workforce
- 55% of our residents
- 50% of our executive leadership
- 58% of our governing board
The contributions of women move our mission forward, drive our daily decisions, and inform our strategic planning. In honor of Women’s History Month, I thank each and every one.
