ASPCA's Matt Bershadker and VOW for Girls' Clay Dunn made an impact at Share Our Strength, and now they are making impacts for animals and girls worldwide. “If you're going to create big change, you need to take big swings. My time at Share Our Strength taught me to take big swings, and it taught me to feel the work deeply,” says Bershadker. He started at ASPCA in 2001 and has been President and CEO since 2013. Dunn chose an international cause, becoming the first CEO of VOW for Girls in 2019. “Across communities it is just the unfortunate truth that girls' lives and choices are valued less than boys' lives and choices. I think that's underpinning this issue globally in every community,” he says.
