Sheryl Sandberg and Katie Couric

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 08, 2014 -- The Women’s Board of The Boys’ Club of New York (BCNY) hosted its sixth annual Winter Luncheon on Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 583 Park. This year, the Women’s Board was thrilled to welcome special guest Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and author of Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. Interviewing Ms. Sandberg was Yahoo global anchor and esteemed journalist Katie Couric.

"Sheryl has inspired so many women with her conviction and guidance, and Katie showed us that women can do anything. Both of these women are incredible role models to women—and men—everywhere.” -- BCNY Women's Board President Amy Griffin

Over 450 guests attended the sold-out event. The conversation between Ms. Sandberg and Ms. Couric touched on issues including gender equality, “leaning in” at the workplace and the home and Ms. Sandberg’s campaign to ban the word “bossy.”

“We were thrilled to have such distinguished women with us this year,” said Women’s Board President Amy Griffin. “Sheryl has inspired so many women with her conviction and guidance, and Katie showed us that women can do anything. Both of these women are incredible role models to women—and men—everywhere.”

Just as LeanIn.Org collects stories about people around the country leaning in, stories of women pursuing and achieving their dreams, as well as women and men facing—and defeating—their own prejudices, BCNY works to create men of character, who respect themselves and others, and who learn to see beyond gender stereotypes. BCNY’s programming includes Real Men, a program where BCNY teen members explore alternative definitions of masculinity to learn how presumed gender roles affect their relationships, and can hinder not only the women in their lives, but themselves, as well.

The Winter Luncheon raised support for and awareness of BCNY’s many recreational, educational and cultural programs that give all boys, no matter their circumstances, opportunities for enrichment and success. All proceeds from the luncheon go the Club’s recreational, educational and social programs.

Guests included BCNY Women’s Board members Nathalie Kaplan, Cynthia van Eck, Victoria D’Agostino, Gabrielle Bacon, Mai Hallingby Harrison, Ros L’Esperance, Diane van Amerongen, Elizabeth Pyne, Dara O’Hara, Ritchey Howe, Alexia Hamm Ryan, Kathy Irwin, Cosby George, Jamee Gregory, Jackie Williams, Muffy Miller, Betsy Pitts, Kristin Allen, Aerin Zinterhofer, Stephanie Coleman, Danielle Ganek, Brooke Lynyak, Calvert Moore, and Claudia Overstrom. BCNY Trustees in attendance included its President Edward Rappa, Damien Dwin, Scott Wilson, Chris Errico, Angie Hankins, Bob Ireland, Jeff Smith, Bill Tyree, and BCNY Executive Director Stephen Tosh.

Among the many guests were Kerry Kennedy, Mary Pat Christie, Diana Taylor, Laura Mannix, Michaela Cuomo, Parker Gilbert, Simone and Chris Mailman, David Tyree, Eliza Nordeman, Kathryn Tyree, Alexandra Robertson, Travis Acquavalla, Alison Brokaw, Tory Burch, Diana DiMenna, Sarah Robertson, Mark Gilbertson, Ferebee Taube, Carolyn Reece, Leslie Heaney, Blair Husain, and many, many others.
