Announcing International Women’s Day “Heart of a Champion” Campaign!
The P&G Alumni Foundation, together with the Women’s Leadership Forum, is proud to announce the launch of our 2024 International Women’s Day campaign “Give with the Heart of a Champion.”
Donations will support economic empowerment initiatives that help people in need, many of them women, achieve greater financial independence and be champions of change for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Thanks to the generosity of the P&G Fund for Gender Equality, all donations will be matched (up to $50,000). Give today and double your impact!
P&G alums, like you, are known to have the hearts of champions, a winning mindset, a competitive spirit, and a desire to make the world better. So open up your heart and donate to our International Women’s Day campaign! ”Give with the Heart of a Champion.”
Gifts of any size make a difference. $25 becomes $50. $50 becomes $100. Be a champion for change!

In a robust board election of very qualified candidates, Ida Abdalkhani, Lou Ann Eckert-Lynch, Jeff Goldstein, Ranu Gupta, Katya (Ekaterina) Lobynko, Michelle Solano, and Eric Vanderschueren have been renewed for four-year terms. They are joined by new board member Hanxi Zhao.
While the incumbents are well-known for their excellent service, Hanxi will bring added perspective and geographic balance to our Network’s board leadership as demonstrated by her credentials noted below.
We are delighted that Hanzi will collaborate with York Huang to help foster the exchange and closer connections with China and other Asian Chapters.
Hanxi Brings Significant Contributions and Expertise to the P&G Alumni Network Board and the Community
Extensive Network: Hanxi possesses an extensive network in both the US and Asia business worlds due to her investment work. Her regular interactions with founders, senior executives, and investors enable her to bring sponsors and influential speakers to P&G events, enhancing networking and learning opportunities for alumni.
Strengthening Connections: Hanxi is committed to strengthening the connection between the China alumni network and the global network. She envisions hosting a global conference in China, providing Chinese alumni with the opportunity to contribute through sponsored auctions for the Global Foundation. This initiative not only promotes engagement but also showcases the vibrant Chinese alumni community.
Sharing Best Practices: Based in Shanghai and frequently traveling worldwide, Hanxi plans to meet with chapter chairs in different regions. Through these interactions, she aims to exchange ideas with other chapters and share the best practices implemented by the China alumni network. This collaborative approach fosters continuous improvement and mutual support among chapters.
