Presented with support from Cindy and Greg Kozmetsky
Join The 19th on Thursday, September 18, in Austin, Texas, for the inaugural Ronya Kozmetsky Salon — an afternoon of ideas, solutions and community in honor of a trailblazing leader.
This annual gathering, made possible by Cindy and Greg Kozmetsky in memory of Greg’s late mother, Ronya Kozmetsky — a philanthropist, educator and feminist who championed women’s leadership and opportunity — will bring together women and LGBTQ+ people from across industries, whether budding entrepreneurs or industry leaders.
The conversation:
- Chabeli Carrazana, The 19th’s economy and child care reporter
- Alejandra Aguirre, co-founder and CEO, Cadena Collective
- Janice Omadeke, entrepreneur and author
They’ll share insights and advice from their own careers, how to navigate the workplace amidst broad DEI backlash and creating opportunities for others. Afterward, join a solutions session — a casual, collaborative space to exchange ideas, ask questions and learn from leaders and fellow attendees.
Expect smart, energizing conversation, meaningful connections and refreshments in an intimate setting.
The Kozmetsky family’s gift helped launch The 19th’s $30 million endowment campaign, ensuring that our independent newsroom can keep telling the stories that matter most — for decades to come.
- When: Thursday, September 18
- Where: Austin, TX
- Time: 4 to 5:30 p.m. CT
