EXECUTIVE PLEDGE - JESS SWAN
My name is Jess Swann, and I’m the Vice President of the Hemophilia Commercial Business Unit, and an Executive Sponsor of the BioMarin Women’s Leadership Development (BWLD) employee resource group. Empowering, elevating and mentoring women is something I’m passionate about, which is why I am proud to donate an hour of my pay in gift card donations to support a cause with a mission closely aligned to the objectives of the BWLD.
The “Your Hour, Her Power” challenge benefits Dress for Success, an international non-profit organization whose mission is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and development tools to help women thrive in work and life. When a woman has access to opportunities that can change her life for the better, she becomes powerful beyond measure.
By giving just one hour of your pay (or an amount you are comfortable giving) in gift card donations, you can support a woman in achieving financial independence and upward mobility today.

YOUR HOUR, HER POWER
Dress for Success’ annual Women's History Month and International Women's Day campaign, Your Hour, Her Power®, is inspired by the belief that when a woman has access to opportunities that can change her life for the better, she becomes powerful beyond measure.
Marian Wright Edelman’s words, “you cannot be what you cannot see,” have never rung truer than now as women face the first female recession due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
By giving the equivalent of just one hour of your pay, you not only give a Dress for Success woman access to programs, services, and tools that will help her achieve economic advancement, but you also join us in celebrating female leaders for the pivotal role they play in driving business and economic gains, and social and cultural change.
