WF Community Talk Backs

Recognizing that convening the community is an important part of our work, the Women’s Fund organizes unique events throughout the year. Each is designed to provide information, connect people, create conversations and inspire action.

Many events are held in March in honor of National Women’s History Month. Our Community Talk Backs assembled diverse groups of people and facilitated intergenerational conversation about relevant topics to advancing equity for women.

We utilized a variety of venues to help set the tone for each panel discussion. We had experts in each subject willing share their insights, perspectives and opinions. These became the backdrop for an engaging conversation among attendees that proved communication is the first step in collaboration. We are grateful for all the support, attendance, and investments.

WF Community Talk Backs 2020

In honor of National Women’s History Month, annually, the Women’s Fund coordinates a Community Book Read that culminates with a Community Talk Back focused on the book. Join us—individually, with your book club, a group of friends, your spouse/partner, colleagues, neighborhood association, religious group, or whoever!

The book, What I Told My Daughter, Lessons from Leaders on Raising the New Generation of Empowered Women, is edited by Nina Tassler with Cynthia Littleton. It is a collection of essays to reflect the best advice and counsel, either by example or in character-building, teachable moments.

Whether you read cover to cover, just one or two essays, or none at all, you are welcome to attend the Community Talk Back in March 2020. Location and registration information will be available soon.
