After spending two decades focusing her energy in leadership positions in various facets of the healthcare industry, Nancy started the Follow Your Dream Foundation (a 501(c)(3) organization) as a place to incubate and launch powerful stories that can influence people’s lives. She combines her business acumen and experience running large organizations with her passion for women’s rights, the creative arts, and storytelling.

Nancy believes the inspiration born of reaching for the impossible is transformational; and sharing our respective journeys is our opportunity to touch the lives of those who may not yet know they need to hear the stories we tell.

Several years ago, Nancy learned of Pasang Lhamu Sherpa’s story through her brother-in-law, Dorjee Sherpa,who is Pasang’s brother. She is the Producer/Director of The Glass Ceiling documentary film. In her free time, Nancy is passionate about singing a cappella jazz, hiking the trails of Marin County, and about her 14-year old twins.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
