"I hope you will become a part of this growing organization that inspires and challenges women to give, advocate and volunteer." Cheryl Moore, WLS Chair 2010

The United Way of Tarrant County Women’s Leadership Society (WLS) inspires and challenges women to give, advocate and volunteer in Tarrant County. The society consists of diverse and talented women who are uniting to play a more powerful role as local philanthropists.

Women who contribute $1,000 or more annually to United Way through the society know that their donation will address some of the community's toughest problems. They also enjoy opportunities to meet other Tarrant County women who are leaders in the business, community and volunteer arenas.

To join the Women's Leadership Society or to learn more about it, contact Debbie McGee at 817-258-8047 or via debbie.mcgee@unitedwaytarrant.org.
