What are Women's Fund Forums?

One of the goals of the Women's Fund is to is to bring a greater understanding of the needs of women in our community, and to promote solutions that strengthen options for women and girls, and benefit society as a whole.

To achieve this goal we need to have the facts.  It is not only important to hear the facts but to create a pathway for the community at large to understand the issues that affect us all.  The local and outside expert speakers at the Forums give us a sobering look at the topic at hand and they help provide insight into possible means for creating a better tomorrow. 

The Women's Fund hopes that you join in on these Forums so that you can be a part of our efforts to to raise the level of discourse about issues that impact women and families locally.
