Purchase, NY (PRWEB) June 20, 2014 -- More than 50 powerful female community leaders attended United Way of Westchester and Putnam’s (UWWP) Women’s Leadership Council networking event on Thursday, June 18. Both current and prospective council members joined together as like-minded businesswomen and leaders to learn how the Women’s Leadership Council is changing the lives of women in poverty. The event was generously sponsored and hosted by Manhattanville College School of Business in historic Reid Castle.

The mission of UWWP’s Women’s Leadership Council, which launched in December 2013 as part of a national United Way movement, is to harness leadership and philanthropy as agents of change to promote financial self-sufficiency, education, and health among women and their families. The council engages its members in philanthropy and volunteerism through two compelling United Way initiatives: “Teach Me to Fish,” which gives underemployed adults job training, work skills coaching, and professional opportunities, and “Smart Start,” which helps at-risk elementary school children to stay engaged in school through academic support.

“When you are investing in saving a life trajectory, you are strengthening a community,” said Alana Sweeny, president and CEO of UWWP.

The event acknowledged the 48 current founding members of the Women’s Leadership Council, whose dedication to the community has already provided countless children and women with educational opportunities and tools for empowerment. “We are exceedingly appreciative and proud of the fact that we are able to have 48 amazing women join us in this mission,” said Alyzza Ozer, UWWP senior vice president of resource development and community engagement. “It just shows what women are capable of doing when we mobilize and work together.”

Dr. Anthony Davidson, dean of Manhattanville College School of Business, thanked the United Way for the wonderful work they do in enhancing women’s causes through the Women’s Leadership Council. “Everybody talks about the need for a mentor, and that’s what’s happening in the room today,” Davidson said. “The Women’s Leadership Council has made important strides in deepening the understanding of women’s issues, and I look forward to working closely with the council as we launch our Executive Leadership and Development Center for Women in the fall.”

June 30 is the last opportunity to become a founding member of UWWP’s Women’s Leadership Council. To join, visit http://www.uwwp.org/wlc.shtml or contact Margaret Tramontine at 914-997-6700 x737.
