What inspired you to join Project W?
Having grown up in Haverford Township, I have an affinity for Delaware County! My entire life my parents were involved in township and county politics, and the community in general, and I often tagged along. I feel like I know the county so well- its strengths and challenges. Project W's mission of "committing to enhancing and improving the quality of life for women in Delaware County, through collective giving, by women," spoke to me. I see Project W as an organization that provides an opportunity for members to give back and make an impact. (And of course Lauren's outreach phone call to me was so inspiring and compelling, I had to join!)
Anything that you want to share as the new Membership Chairperson?
I'm hoping we can inspire other women to see the benefits of joining a giving circle that supports and helps programs in our local community, Delaware County. I think people are looking for ways to help their community at this juncture and Project W provides just this. Members can select their level of involvement- perfect for busy women.
