From a 2019 Participant:
I currently serve on the United Way Finance committee and plan to be more active with Women United. This class has been extremely beneficial and has already helped me become more engaged and comfortable asking questions during meetings.
I am hoping in the future to get involved with an organization helping women and I now know how to get started.
Thanks for taking the time to provide this opportunity.
