We’re Empowering the Next Great Civic Leaders…

And we’re already making a powerful impact by leading change within our Western New York communities! To us, becoming a civic leader is all about understanding that local efforts have a global reach, and it all begins with creating local leadership opportunities that put women’s skills and passion to work right here in Western New York. If you’re interested in developing civic leadership skills while collaborating on important efforts with a group of like-minded women, you’re in the right place!
