STATE STREET WELCOME LETTER
“A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman.”
—Melinda Gates
In 2017, we’ve seen no shortage of strong women changing the world for the better, from standing up to
fight harassment, to championing access to education, to leading relief efforts for communities stricken by
natural disasters. Though we’re living through turbulent and divisive times, when we amplify our voices, we
can change the course of history.
It’s my honor to welcome you to the thirteenth annual Massachusetts Conference for Women, where our
theme is once again “The Power of Us: Amplify Your Voice.” This year’s conference promises to be the
biggest and best in our history, with eleven thousand attendees and more than seventy speakers. In prior
years, we’ve heard insights from movers and shakers representing a wide range of backgrounds and per-
spectives. This year is no different, with some of the most accomplished women on the planet (and some
amazing men too!) here to inspire us through presentations, panels, and workshops.
State Street is proud to be the conference’s Presenting Sponsor for the eleventh consecutive year, and a
large contingent of our employees are thrilled to be here, as usual. This year, we’re once again hosting the
Social Hub, where attendees can be part of the online conversation. The connections we make with one
another are among the most valuable aspects of the conference, so I encourage you to take advantage of
the many opportunities to network and build relationships that will support your personal and professional
growth long after the conference concludes.
On a personal note, I want to say how excited I am to be representing State Street on the conference board
for my first time. Each year, it takes the tireless efforts of many to put this conference together, and I am
thrilled to be a part of this important tradition.
Women have accomplished so much, but we have the potential for so much more. I’m confident that the
“Power of Us” will help us and our allies amplify our voices and bring positive change to our world.
Kathy Horgan
Executive Vice President & Chief Human Resources & Citizenship Officer State Street Corporation
