Ms. Ewald has advised national corporations on gender related policies; developed and led national programs and international projects while chairing a blue ribbon committee of execs from the national arts unions and CEOs of major corporations.

Ms. Ewald has convened arts conferences, and has worked with the U.S. Congress, White House, national arts and entertainment unions and management leaders; and with heads of state and diplomats from foreign countries. She currently has projects in development for TV and film. Patty Ewald resides in NYC.
