The Working Women’s Network was honored to welcome Dr. Miguel Cardona, the 12th U.S. Secretary of Education, for a special installment of our Leadership Lunch & Learn Series.
Dr. Cardona reflected on his leadership journey, personal roots, and enduring commitment to education and public service. His remarks underscored the power of representation, mentorship, and community-centered leadership. The event also marked the official launch of the WWN 2026 Mentoring Program, setting the stage for a year focused on growth, connection, and sponsorship.
We are grateful to the Office of Employee Engagement and Workplace Culture, the Yale School of Management, and Cardona Solutions for their partnership and support and to all who joined us for this engaging and inspiring conversation.
