Avista's next CEO gives keynote speech
The first women to break cultural and corporate barriers have made it possible for more women to follow in their successful footsteps. This sentiment was at the heart of the speech delivered by Avista's first female CEO Heather Rosentrater, the keynote speaker of the Women's Gift Alliance's 20th anniversary celebration at the Hagadone Event Center. "You are the ones kicking down those doors so that others can walk through," Rosentrater said Tuesday evening, addressing the many Women's Gift Alliance members in room. "I'm excited tonight to just be a part of this."
