Throughout her career, Gorman served on a number of boards focused on leadership collaboration and responsible governance, including the Fair Labor Association, the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) Foundation, and the United States Footwear Manufacturers Association. She is a 2020 Presidential Leadership Scholar, a bipartisan initiative led by the George W. Bush, William J. Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Lyndon B.
