Executive Compensation & Benefits partner Jennifer Britz was named a “Rising Star” at this year’s 20th Annual “Power of Women to Make a Difference” Awards Luncheon, hosted by United Way of New York City (UWNYC) and its Women United professional women’s network.

The awards luncheon, which took place on March 10th at the Ziegfeld Ballroom, convened over 400 influential leaders from across New York City’s public, private and nonprofit sectors to recognize the accomplishments of extraordinary women leaders. This signature event raised $1.7 million this year for UWNYC initiatives.

At the luncheon each year, UWNYC celebrates a cohort of “Rising Stars” – emerging women leaders who are contributing to their communities, their teams and their industries and are recognized for their impact.
