Melanie Balestra For over 45 years, Melanie Balestra has championed the well-being of children as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, while her 23-year career as an attorney highlights her dedication to advocacy and justice. Her journey took a deeply personal turn when her youngest daughter began struggling with mental health issues at the age of three. Despite her extensive healthcare background, Melanie's concerns were dismissed by pediatricians, psychiatrists, and counselors. The tragic discovery of her daughter's diaries revealed the profound pain hidden within their family and led Melanie to embrace a new perspective: parents must be their child’s fiercest advocates. Armed with degrees from Duke University and UCLA, Melanie combined her professional expertise and personal experiences to advocate for mental health awareness and systemic change.

    Alex Prasad, Anna Birkás, Evan Bogart

    Alex Prasad Alex Prasad, CEO of V1 Sports, with his non-golf background has driven substantial growth in V1 Sports, an established swing video analysis company.

Motivated by this disparity, Anna channeled her frustration into innovation, blending her scientific and engineering acumen to create Chickfly pants. The patented design empowers women with discreet bathroom access without the need to remove their pants, breaking barriers for female professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Overcoming personal and professional challenges, including industry burnout, Evan returned to music with renewed vigor, co-writing major hits for artists such as Rihanna (“S.O.S.”) and Beyoncé (“Halo”). In 2020, Evan co-founded Seeker Music, a company that redefines catalog management by treating music catalogs with the same strategic, creative attention as new releases.
