“At United Way Worldwide, we believe when everyone in a community can thrive, we all thrive,” said Angela F. Williams, President and CEO of United Way Worldwide. “Through the Women United Global Leadership Council, we help to build brighter tomorrows by increasing access to opportunity whether that’s by supporting families to become more financially stable, strengthening access to high-quality childcare, or building educational and mentorship opportunities to help children and young adults grow to their fullest potential.”  

 

WUGLC represents members working with United Way in communities worldwide. The new members underwent a rigorous nominations process and were selected by the Council for their experience, commitment to Women United, and proven investment in United Way’s mission.


The Council serves as an advisory body providing strategic recommendations to United Way Worldwide as well as a key mobilizer that engages leaders to support opportunities that help to strengthen families, such as access to quality, affordable, and educational childcare. The group, representing over 50,000 members, also supports the growth of Women United globally.

Together, we can inspire, empower, and create lasting change," said Jenny Holsman Tetreault, Chair of the WUGLC.  

 

WUGLC members fuel impact work in their communities through their United Ways, including donating, volunteering and advocating for efforts to strengthen community resilience and advance health, youth opportunity, and financial security so all can thrive.
