Vancouver, British Columbia - November 19, 2025 - Mission Accepted Media announced today that it will host the celebration and virtual world tour of "Mission Accepted: 262 Women Creatives, Ultrapreneurs & Media" on Wednesday, Dec. 4, featuring Kate Linder as the Keynote Speaker.
The live online celebration is part of a five-year international movement uniting women leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs from around the world. Headlining the event is Kate Linder, an American actress, best known for her role as Esther Valentine on The Young and the Restless, which she has played since 1982. After appearing in the soap opera for more than 40 years, she is one of the longest serving actors on an American soap opera.
"Mission Accepted: 262 Women Creatives, Ultrapreneurs & Media" is a large-format coffee table book featuring the real-life stories of contemporary women who are transforming business, media, and social impact. The book also includes a historical tribute honoring 50 female pioneers whose legacies paved the way for today's changemakers.
"This is about legacy, leadership, and leverage," says Drummond. "We're placing the stories of women who are shaping the future directly into the hands of those who help shape the culture. It's a bold move—and the right moment."
The 262 Women's Book project began as a storytelling initiative and has grown into a worldwide movement celebrating visibility, leadership, and legacy. The anthology features 262 authors, 550 speakers, and 126 quote contributors.
Over the course of the project so far, the Mission Accepted movement has reached 900 million viewers and generated more than 5 million media impressions through its affiliated media programs, including The Women's Channel TV Show.
"This book is about creating space for women to encourage and be encouraged," said Deb Drummond, founder of Mission Accepted Media and creator of the 262 Book Series. "It's about celebrating gumption in all its forms—leadership, creativity, innovation, and the courage to rise."
The December 4th event will include appearances by authors and speakers from around the world and will feature interactive panels, live networking, and surprise giveaways. The speakers scheduled to present are Dr. Melissa Balizan, Melissa (Mel) Heathers, Carroll Patrizi, Liz Goll Lerner, and Kolleen Chesley.
Attendees will:
• Meet hundreds of women authors, speakers, and entrepreneurs.
• Hear personal stories of leadership, innovation, and empowerment.
• Participate in real-time networking with a global audience.
• Receive access to digital resources, book bundles, and exclusive gifts available live only.
