TOGETHER Leading: Becoming a leader

“WLC’s TOGETHER Leading is an opportunity to make personal and professional connections with other women to make our community and workplaces stronger.”

Giving back in a meaningful way

“I have come to really appreciate how low-income people in our area live, how they manage to make it work. It is pretty humbling to see that.”

Weekly Volunteer Joy

“I don’t love grocery shopping. But I love spending time with Mary Anne and grocery shopping is something simple I can do to help.”

Finding a place to belong

“I was so fortunate to find the Women’s Leadership Council. A group of intelligent, forward-thinking people – who happen to be women – to connect with and make an impact.”

Finding balance in life and work

“I joined the Women’s Leadership Council because I liked the idea of women working with other women to make an impact in our community.”
