The Board of Directors recently approved the Nominating Committee's recommendations for those women who will lead WIF for the 2016-2017 year.  We will ask members to vote to approve this slate during the Annual Meeting on May 11.  We are particularly excited to confirm Anne Essaye as the 2016-2017 Board Chair, to announce Deborah Majewski as our Incoming Chair and to welcome Mattye Silverman to the Chairmanship of the Board of Advisors.

To see the full list of dynamic and talented women whom we propose to step into leadership roles, please click here.  In addition to the slate for the Board of Directors, you will see the nominations for several additional Incoming Committee Chair roles, our Nominating Committee and our Board of Advisors.  If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact me directly at meadec@mvalaw.com or 704-331-3586.

Thanks: Lise Hain, chair-elect of Charlotte Ballet, just completed an important job: chairing the search committee for the next artistic director of the ballet. Hope Muir was recently named to replace Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux in 2017. Lise also serves on the board of Freedom School Partners.
