United Way Women’s Leadership Council Mobilizing the Power of Women to Achieve Community Impact This year United Way of Muscatine is founding a Women’s Leadership Council. The Women’s Leadership Council (WLC) is an educated, informed and dedicated group of volunteer women working to inspire other women in Muscatine to make a difference by Giving, Advocating and Volunteering. WLC will ignite the power of women to make a positive impact on education, specifically the issues of Kindergarten preparedness and students having the skills to be successful post high school graduation. We invite you to join us. Through WLC you will be connected with year-round engagement opportunities focused on our signature issue. Membership is as easy as checking the Women’s Leadership Council box in the Leadership Giving section of your pledge form. For more information on how your WLC pledge will be used to impact our community visit: unitedwaymuscatine.org/wlc Brandy Olson WLC Chair The Pearl City Leadership Society is designed to encourage and recognize individuals in our community who make gifts of $1,000 or more annually to United Way. Leadership gifts are a powerful demonstration of commitment to the community. By contributing to United Way, you are joining with others across the community to strengthen the building blocks of a good quality of life – Education, Income and Health. Working together, people with passion and commitment, are leading the way to a brighter tomorrow. It takes a whole community working together to reach our mutual goals. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families have good health and workers have solid jobs.
