I am ecstatic to join Rise as the organization develops across the globe. I wholeheartedly believe in the mission to ensure there is a diverse and gender-balanced workforce across the broadcast technology industry in all roles. Great leaders empower others, and I cannot wait to get involved with growing our Rise chapter across the US and Canada to open up more opportunities for women in North America, states Ross.

Meghan and Serena will be hosting its first North American Rise event, an In Conversation With' webinar starring CEO & Founder of MelroseINC, Sandy Nasseri.
