WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
Women leaders and entrepreneurs have driven significant growth within our region for more than a generation. As a collective force, these women shape the public conversation and affect positive change for the lives of women and their families.
The opportunity to meet so many inspiring women you don’t know in your own community—to see what these women have done and what they are empowered to do for the community—and for members of the community. It’s a great organization.

There is a greater opportunity for all of us in Pittsburgh to think intentionally about the way we are supporting immigrants and those coming from emerging communities. We are determined to look carefully at those gaps and try to fill them through organizations like United Way.

The WLC is a group of very dedicated and determined women who are figuring out new, creative ways to help their community, even during the most difficult times.

I believe that United Way welcomes everyone to be a part of the organization and allows you to volunteer for projects you specifically care about.
ANDREA KRUEGER
As your life goes through stages, you become more aware of the realities in the world. In my case, as my children got older, I started to realize the need in my local community and had more time to volunteer.
Andrea Bortoluzzi
It’s not just donating money. You can donate your time. You can help spread the word. I think meeting other women, of all ages, that care about the community is just a big deal.
Debbie Crum
United Way is connected to so many wonderful support organizations throughout our community, through a coordinated effort, they mobilize EVERYONE to provide equitable support for all, where everyone can thrive.
Tina Moracsyzk
Sometimes people think United Way is big therefore, the money doesn’t get back down into the community. That’s just not true. Working with United way and WLC, I’ve seen those dollars at work firsthand in Beverly’s Birthdays, a mile down the road from my house, and in United Way’s 211 call center where people receive an immediate response to urgent needs.

There is so much you can be involved with. Pick something you are passionate about and donate your time and skill sets. We lead by example for our peers, but also for our kids who see us actively involved.
ANASTASIYA MAKSAKOVA
Being part of this powerful network of women who are working together to improve people’s quality of life and reduce disparities in marginalized communities is impactful. I am honored to be a part of the council.
