Sharon Price John, Build-A-Bear
Workshop President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "As we
continue with our planned year-long festivities surrounding
Build-A-Bear's milestone 25th anniversary in 2022, we
are proud to join in this global day celebrating women and their
advancements, contributions and achievements across social,
economic and cultural fronts. I am particularly proud that this
company was founded in 1997 by a dynamic and inspirational
businesswoman, Maxine Clark, and
that over 80% of today's store managers are female. I am also
pleased to head up a senior leadership team and be a member of the
Board of Directors where 50% or more of those represented are
women. We believe that our hands-on interactive bear-making process
has contributed to fueling the empowerment of children including
millions of young girls by putting the creative process directly
into their hands and inspiring imaginations to dream big and we
plan to continue to lead in the retail-tainment space for
generations to come."
