Our CEO has a few words to say about the importance of women in business:
“Since our founding, Hightower has been a majority women-owned business and we’re proud to be officially recognized as a Women’s Business Enterprise. We believe pushing to make even greater strides in gender equity and working to support diversity overall is critical in achieving a more sustainable future, for our industry and beyond."
