Requesting Women’s Initiative Members
Chamber member, United Way of Allen County, is seeking members to join their Women’s Initiative, a dedicated group of local women philanthropists focused on strengthening the community through leadership, fundraising and advocacy. The group currently has about 75 local women leaders, with Kris Foate and Chris Rupp as Co-chairs.
Recently, Women’s Initiative members have begun devoting their energies to help children enter school prepared to learn. The Women’s Initiative is a powerful part of United Way’s three-pronged effort to close the reading achievement gap by the third grade through attention to prenatal care, early literacy and in-school tutoring.
