YFE acts as a sounding board, a place for discussion, networking, and inspiration. Monthly meetings take place online through Ovaleye Web Conferencing. YFE is also host to #YFEchat on Twitter and posts frequent blogs and podcasts.
“I am honored to be highlighted as a Champion of Change as a young entrepreneur,” said Donogh. “I’m thankful for the opportunity to share the work I’ve done with Young Female Entrepreneurs, as well as the experience I have had in building Ovaleye alongside my partners.”
The Office of Public Engagement and White House Policy Offices will host and participate in a discussion with the Champions of Change honorees, promoting best practices. Donogh will also be featured on the White House website blog. Champions of Change will gather Thursday from 3 – 4:30pm in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at the White House.
Donogh wants to inspire other young entrepreneurs to live their dreams.“I hope my example will inspire young people to take ownership of their lives,” said Donogh. “Awards like this simply highlight the many opportunities available to them today.”
