Harnessing the Diverse Talents and Influence of Our Membership to Benefit
Young Women in Need in Our Community and Other Women Within Our Organization
by Laurie Bottiger
Great Women To Know is an exciting opportunity for our Esperanza girls as well as for us as women. We truly believe that with support, our girls will be able to break out of the cycle of poverty through education. In order to succeed at Esperanza, we need the help of many community members and I am thrilled to know that a powerful group of women are encouraging, supporting and mentoring our girls. These relationships will show them that their futures are full of opportunities. By sharing experiences with each of you as professional and productive business women, our girls will share a world that they haven't known yet. I also believe that as a community of women, we have much to share and gain from each other. The power that women have as a collective group is simply unmatched. I am proud to be part of a group whose mission is to help other females find great success and joy in each other.
