“Something very powerful happens when a group of like-minded women come together to offer the best of their thinking on how to be of service to others. For me, that is what Women in Philanthropy provides – a space where women, united in purpose, offer recommendations and engage in decision-making that leads to meaningful philanthropic support for not-for-profit organizations. Collectively, we have impact. Personally, we are enriched. “
