Calling Women’s Initiatives: Let’s Share What We’ve Learned
We often hear, “Do not reinvent the wheel.” I agree: there’s no time for that. It’s better to share what we have learned with other women so we can make positive changes more quickly.
That has always been my mission. It continues to be the goal with our Women Connect4Good, Inc. Foundation. Along the path we have found so many smart amazing women to collaborate and partner with, especially to help women hear their call to action: to empower all women and change our world for the better.
We believe that we can connect and serve more women and families when we join forces with other women. Women Connect4Good is a new networking and sharing tool to help us do this. Please tell us about your important programs that currently serve women and your communities. We will share your information to help others develop programs to serve their own areas.
One such program that I’ve been personally involved with is Female Leaders in Philanthropy. FLiP is the Women’s Initiative of United Way of the Ozarks. FLIP is called to equip women with the work skills and life skills that enable them to better care for themselves and their families. The message and mission of FLiP is to help women transition into their communities and “pay it forward.” We also help fund a Backpack Program that feeds hungry school children on weekends. We are all in this together and if just one of us suffers and is limited in some way, it affects all of us. Read about FLiP programs here.
Giving of our time, talents and treasures to serve others is a privilege and something we can all do. Working together for good is also a great way to have fun, make new friends, and build your business, too.
Please hear your name being called right now. Do you hear it?
