Next week, Girls STEAM Institute’s CEO and Co-Founder, Diane McClelland, will be honored at the 2025 International Association of Top Professionals Awards in New York as the top Co-Founder and CEO for Non-Profits. The International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) is a global elite networking organization of top professionals from different industries across the United States that have come together to collaborate and share ideas as a powerhouse authority in their field for over 20 years.
IAOTP also supports a wide range of charities that support youth programs that align with the Girls STEAM Institute Mission including Child Rescue Coalition, Thorn Fights Child Sexual Exploitation, and Michele McLean Children’s Trust.
We are thrilled to have Diane McClelland selected for their top honors this year. For over 50 years, Diane has been a leader in business entrepreneurship and nonprofit leadership mentoring young women to become business owners and leaders. Author of Walk Your Talk, Diane has co-founded three nonprofits serving women business owners and youth to help them gain access to capital, global markets, and cope with the quickly changing technology including immersive technology.
She is currently working on the 2025 GSI Business Challenge in October as registrations continue to roll in, and working on an in-person conference in Texas that will bring education and industry together to collaborate on the challenges of AI and emerging technology.
