Members of the WLC and Community Stakeholders celebrate the launch of our WLC in 2010.
|
This past October, the Women's Leadership Council celebrated its fourth anniversary, and, wow, what a year it was!
We held our Third Annual Power of the Purse event, which attracted more than 1,200 women (and a few good men, too), raised more than $230,000 to support our Family Financial Stability Initiative, and resulted in nearly 100 new members.
We structured our committees to better serve the needs of our community and growing membership. And, recognizing that financial stability is only one piece of the puzzle, we launched an education engagement initiative to help children succeed in school and in life.
To capture the success you've been a part of this year, we asked our members to share their most memorable moments from this past year. Here's what you had to say.
