Marco Crola, Pirelli’s new CEO for NAFTA, preceded the launch with a presentation of the Pirelli group’s ‘High Value’ strategy focused on the personalization of products and services, based on customer needs and supported by the constant search for innovative technological solutions. This approach has led to new cutting edge products and technologies such as Connesso, Cyber Car, Color Edition, Run Flat, Pirelli Noise Canceling System and Self-Sealing.

The new SCORPION™ ALL TERRAIN PLUS, which completes our product portfolio, goes in this direction: meeting the specific needs of pick-up truck and SUV drivers.”

Poll Finds 1 in 4 Women Fundraisers Has Been Harassed
Almost half of all fundraisers have some sort of personal experience with sexual harassment, with a quarter of all female fundraisers having been sexually harassed during their careers, according to a new survey by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and The Chronicle of Philanthropy, andconducted independently online by the Harris Poll.
The survey, the first comprehensive study of its kind about sexual harassment in the fundraising profession, found that 48 percent of respondents had either personally experienced, witnessed, and/or heard second-hand about incidents of sexual harassment. One in four women have experienced sexual harassment in the fundraising field, and seven percent of men have experienced the same.
In 65 percent of the cases reported in the survey, the perpetrator of the harassment was a donor, and in nearly all cases (96 percent), the perpetrator was a male.
“The number of cases involving donors is eye-opening and points to a unique and very troubling situation within the profession,” said Mike Geiger, MBA, CPA, president and CEO of AFP. “As we look at how to proceed with the data from the survey and begin developing anti-harassment education and training for fundraisers and others in the charitable sector, we will have a special focus on the all-important donor-fundraiser relationship. We know most donors have only the best interest of the cause at heart, but our message will be clear: no donation and no donor is worth taking away an individual’s respect and self-worth and turning a blind eye to harassment.”
More than a quarter (27 percent) of respondents believe that donors are prioritized and have more rights than they do, and 13 percent feel that their organization places a greater value on the loyalty of donors than the safety of its staff. The numbers increase for those who have personally experienced sexual harassment, witnessed or been told about another’s experiences.
Prevalence of Harassment
In total, 21 percent of all respondents to the survey (men and women) have personally experienced harassment, while 16 percent of all respondents have witnessed harassment, and 26 percent have been told about incidents of harassment.
The most common types of sexual harassment experienced in the fundraising profession include inappropriate sexual comments (80 percent) or unwanted touching or physical contact (55 percent). Harassment is not typically a one-time occurrence either. Almost three-quarters (74 percent) reported having had at least two harassment experiences, and 51 percent have had three or more.
“While we work to improve communities around the world, it’s clear the fundraising profession is not immune to the problems of sexual harassment,” said Ann Hale. “Regardless of where the harassment comes from—supervisors, colleagues, donors or whomever—AFP is committed to addressing this critical issue and providing tools and resources to help stop and prevent sexual harassment from occurring. This data is exactly why we developed the Women’s Impact Initiative this year, and we’re grateful to the Chronicle for their support of this important survey.”
AFP’s Women’s Impact Initiative, launched on International Women’s Day, is a two-year campaign focusing on issues related to women in the profession, including harassment, salary inequity and lack of women in fundraising leadership positions. The sexual harassment survey is the first major project in the Women’s Impact Initiative.
Organizational Responses
One of the key tools flowing from the survey will be steps, advice and guidance to ensure action is taken when harassment occurs.
“A big takeaway from the survey is that many fundraisers like their organizations and believe it will support them if harassment occurs,” said Tycely Williams, chair of AFP’s Women’s Impact Initiative. “But at the same time, the data shows that once harassment was reported, often times very little was done. We need to begin a larger conversation with everyone in the sector about what we can all do to not only prevent harassment, but respond appropriately and timely when it does occur.”
More than 8 in 10 respondents (81 percent) have at least somewhat favorable views of the organization for which they work, and nearly all (94 percent) are at least somewhat satisfied with their organization’s culture towards sexual harassment. The vast majority (91 percent) are optimistic that their organization would support them if they personally experienced sexual harassment in the workplace.
But the reality is different. According to respondents who have experienced sexual harassment and told their organization, in many cases (71 percent of the time) no action was taken against the perpetrator after the incident has been reported. Over half (53 percent) are not very or not at all satisfied with how their manager, supervisor or organization responded to their allegation of sexual harassment. Even more critically, more than one-third of respondents (35 percent) have even felt a negative impact on their career through raising their incidents of harassment.
Changing Culture
Overall, fundraising professionals believe that the culture within the profession is changing with respect to sexual harassment. More than 9 in 10 (92 percent) believe that sexual harassment allegations in fundraising are more likely to be taken seriously today than ever before. The majority (82 percent) observes the #MeToo movement having a positive influence on the general workplace environment.
In addition, 93 percent of fundraising professionals want a “zero tolerance policy” enacted in every workplace in their country, and 7 in 10 feel very strongly that this should be the norm.
“Fundraising has been responsible for so much positive change in the world, and now we need to be at the forefront of change within our own profession,” said Geiger. “This survey should be a call to action to everyone in fundraising and philanthropy. As the largest community of fundraisers in the world, AFP is prepared to take the lead on the issue, and we look forward to working with organizations across the sector in addressing and ultimately solving the issue of sexual harassment.”

Two Wild Women Expeditions
The trail blazer of women-only travel has created two itineraries where few travel. On five departures in 2018, Wild Women Expeditions immerses women in the physically challenging, poignantly stunning landscape of Newfoundland in the remote northeastern corner of Canada.
Two distinct, week-long adventures engage guests on Newfoundland’s western shore, separated from Quebec by the Gulf of St. Lawrence that eventually pours into the North Atlantic.
This is home turf for Wild Women Expeditions that offers more active travel departures for women only than any other tour operator in the world. The company was founded in Newfoundland and maintains its headquarters here. Owner Jennifer Haddow grew up near Gros Morne National Park where many of the itineraries’ activities take place.
“This is a place of stark ancient beauty, where the ground beneath your feet tells the story of Earth’s geological history. It’s also a place where icebergs stroll up and down coastal waters and where fjords claw their way into the interior,” explained Haddow, noting that few other adventure travel companies offer tours here.
Indigenous peoples predated the Vikings who arrived some 1000 years ago. England first raised a flag on the North American continent in the late 16th century in what came to be called Newfoundland. Fishermen soon discovered some of the Atlantic’s most productive waters here. The park’s Long Range Mountains testify to this once geologically charged world rife with volcanos and glaciers. These mountains are part of the Appalachian chain rising from Georgia through Maine.
“Gros Morne National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is as important to Plate Tectonics Theory as Ecuador’s Galapagos Archipelago is to the Theory of Evolution,” Haddow added. “The challenges of this environment become metaphors for the challenges faced by the women who choose to travel with us.”
Hiking first through a barren landscape, women discover where the peridotite ends and ancient oceanic crust begins. They hike through a boreal forest to the rugged coastline where pillow lava and sea stacks dominate the shore. They move to the rich marine wonderland of Bonne Bay and a landlocked lake before summiting Gros Morne Mountain in a hike of up to 10 hours.
Following are two 2018 Wild Women Expeditions’ itineraries in Newfoundland. Daily challenges reflect the company’s philosophy that women can discover and build on their own inner strengths by mastering hurdles in the safe company of other women.
Newfoundland Gros Morne Multi-Sport Adventure is a seven-day hiking and kayaking expedition in one of the wildest places in Canada. In 2018 there are three departures: July 21-27, Aug. 11-17 and Sept. 8-14. The $2,695 CAD per person rate includes professional local female guides, all meals, six nights shared accommodation in oceanside cabins, fully outfitted sea kayak day trip on Bonne Bay, guided hikes, ground transportation, park pass and Western Brook Pond Fjord boat tour.
Guests walk on rugged trails over the Earth’s mantle that supports little to no vegetation, explore fossil remains, visit an artsy village, kayak in a sheltered fjord, witness Minke whales, eagles, terns, and kingfishers in the bay and on land; caribou, Rock ptarmigan and Arctic hare. There’s also time to relax on a boat tour of a land-locked fjord accessed through bogs and limestone ridges. For trip details see http://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/newfoundland-multisport/.
Icebergs and Arts Adventure is an eight-day wilderness immersion with a hefty dollop of culture on two departures in 2018: June 3-10 and July 6-13. The per person rate of $2,695 CAD includes professional female guides; all meals; seven nights shared accommodation in an authentic house and suites, a wilderness lodge and seaside cabins; guided and fully outfitted sea kayak day; guided hikes and interpretive walks in Gros Morne National Park and along the Great Northern Peninsula; Western Brook Pond Fjord boat tour and iceberg and whale watching boat tour; interpretive tour and lunch at the French Shore Museum in Conche; and a visit to L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Viking history comes alive.
At Port aux Choix National Historic Site guests hike to Philips Garden to explore the ancient remains of one of the largest Dorset Paleoeskimo settlements in the Eastern Canadian Arctic. They also visit the Myra Bennett Heritage House, the home of a nurse known along the 200 miles of coast simply as “the nurse.” This remarkable woman brought her life-saving skills to what was then an isolated, rugged Great Northern Peninsula. See: http://wildwomenexpeditions.com/trips/newfoundland/
“Canada is a country designed for adventurers. For women who want it all, Canada delivers the goods,” said Haddow. “We’ve been trailblazing outdoor adventures in Canada for over a quarter of a century. Increasingly women want to feel the freedom of connecting with wild space in its finest form. In Canada are some of the wildest and grandest natural treasures on the planet.”
Wild Women Expeditions’ Canadian programs are prototypes for the baptism-by-wilderness experiences that Haddow’s team arranges in 26 countries this year. These journeys reflect that…
- Women need opportunities to just be themselves, together;
- The wilderness helps women connect with elements of their psyche that may be lost in the daily hustle and bustle;
- Pairing women and wilderness often encourages women beyond their comfort zones, leading to increased confidence;
- These ingredients can be transformational, perhaps leading to answers to the question that Poet Mary Oliver poses: What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
About :
Founded in 1991, Wild Women Expeditions is the world’s largest women-only travel company. Its initial focus was on canoeing on remote Ontario waters. Through an unwavering focus on Canada, one of the wildest, most pristine countries in the world, Wild Women Expeditions became Canadian experts in a pioneering niche that introduced small groups of women into wilderness settings. Even though the company now hosts guests all over the world, it retains a national focus with more trips and more women-only, backcountry camping adventures in Canada than any other women’s travel company in the world.

Smock Me
By: Carley Schumann
This week, Style Fashion Week visited the West Hollywood studio of emerging designer, Michael Howard—the creative mind behind Smock Me.
Entering the studio, we were immediately greeted by Michael’s mischievous pig, Mr. Meat, who has become the inspiration behind of some of Smock Me’s upcoming designs. Mr. Meat, the SmockMe pig, has a wardrobe of his own and changes his hair color frequently—check out his Instagram. He definitely takes after his father.
As we talked, I sifted through the many unique designs draped amongst the racks, when one particular jacket caught my eye. The back read, “Fear is Fuel for the Soul.” He walked me outside of his studio to reveal the mantra painted on the wall as well. “I came here with nothing but my backpack.” He explained.
It was eight years ago, after losing both of his parents, that he decided that it was time to immerse himself in a new environment. He packed his backpack, and left for Los Angeles without a plan. He explained how the fear of the unknown propelled him forward on his journey. Without a place to stay, he ran into a friend on his first day in town, who gave him a temporary home as he established himself in his new surroundings. He experimented in acting, but when it failed to inspire him, he began working and designing for a shop on Melrose. He additionally began teaching himself to sew.
Growing up in the Brooklyn 90’s, Michael has always found inspiration in brands like Iceberg and Coogi. He also finds inspiration in vintage cartoons like Rocco’s Modern Life, CatDog and others that bring his audience feelings childhood nostalgia. Fashion and the expression of dress was always something he admired—specifically, unique pieces that couldn’t be replicated. He was never interested in fashion that felt like something “everyone else was wearing.”
It was three years ago when he designed his first piece. The garment was a second hand jean jacket, which he distressed and customized by attaching some 1930’s Pop-Eye characters from his collection. He placed the jacket in the Melrose storefront where he was working. When almost immediately, a customer recognized the value and uniqueness of the garment, Michael knew he was onto something. He began designing more distinct pieces for himself and his friends, and when they continued to receive a tremendous amount of attention when wearing the garments, Smock Me was born.
Michael takes pride in the originality of each garment. Each piece is a reflection of the emotion and inspiration that was flowing within him on the moment of creation. While these core pieces can never be replicated, he has begun to incorporate graphic design into his collections. He intends for the Smock Me graphic collection to be similar in exclusivity to his core designs—once released, there will be only a limited amount of each graphic collection available. His first graphic collection will debut during Style Fashion Week Palm Springs.
On April 6th at the Palm Springs Air Museum, guests can look forward to a collection launch which will include Smock Me core, graphic, swim and accessories. Smock Me presented his first collective during New York Fashion Week this past February. This will be his first time showing with Style Fashion Week.
Michael continues to let the unknown guide him in all of his endeavors, creating each moment with the stroke of his brush and letting his intuition lead the way. We look forward to his collection debut at Style Fashion Week, Palm Springs.
