What are you working
on right now?
We have a program for girls
aged 12 and over that's called
Enlighten: Young Women
Exploring Their Futures, where
we introduce middle school and
teen-age girls to professional
women in different careers. We are planning a luncheon for
next year and presently looking for sponsors to continue this
annual event.

Tell us more about the Enlighten
program for young women.
For four years, we had 100 girls and 100 women at a luncheon,
which is wonderful, so in addition to getting that going again
I'd really like to start a mentor
program — so, professional
women getting involved would
be top of the list.

What's on your
wish list?
Donations to support our
growing programs to be able to
serve more youth.

What's a fun fact
about you?
I love cartography!
10
What is your hope for the future?
We've been working on a sustainability plan, so the
programs will continue to serve the next generations of kids.
That's my dream.
