Women's Leadership Council

Heart of West Michigan United Way’s Women's Leadership Council is designed to engage women in our community in impacting the lives of our children and youth. The Women's Leadership Council hopes to build an infrastructure for women to be leaders in strengthening our community. This is done by:

  • Educating women on critical community issues
  • Increasing awareness and participation in volunteer opportunities
  • Raising funds that are directed towards critical community issues

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
