Navigating Greatness, Celebrating Women in Maritime ⚓ was everything we hoped it would be, and more! ✨
From our inspiring guest speaker, Ann Phillips, to our outstanding featured students, Finley Stoops and Shivani Patel, the program was engaging and enlightening for everyone in the room. We were privileged to highlight some of the best leaders we’ve had the honor of working with — Dana Truxell, Judy Barrett, and Camille Crofton Cherry — whose dedication continues to shape our industry. Rounding out the celebration were our Women’s Wavemaker Award winners, Dr. Elspeth McMahon and Amanda Ahlemeyer Robinson, who have defined what it means to Navigate Greatness throughout their careers thus far.
A heartfelt thank you to our Leadership Lighthouse Sponsors, Avoler Group and Hampton Roads Shipping Association, along with our partners at WISTA and the Virginia Maritime Association whose steadfast support made the night possible. You’ve once again helped create a space where relationships flourish and our industry continues to thrive.
From start to finish, we witnessed women uplifting one another and men standing proudly beside the many ceiling breakers in the room. Here’s to continued progress, partnership, and the powerful wave of women shaping the maritime future! ⚓
