The Great Dames Commitment

I believe there is a Great Dame in every woman, no matter her age or background. I define my ‘Great Dameness’ in my own way.

I believe sharing our stories and wisdom broadens perspectives and helps us find strength and support.

I believe in respecting myself and others.

I believe in being compassionate, welcoming, and encouraging.

I believe in using my voice to empower equity, diversity, and inclusion.

I believe in action. I am committed in sharing resources and breaking barriers for women and girls to make a difference in their own lives and for their families and communities.

I believe in the magic, fun, and wonder that happens when Great Dames come together. Some people call it sisterhood, some call it friendship. We call it being a Great Dame.
