Today we join the global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women on International Women’s Day. From the world’s stage to local communities, women are a driving force behind social and systemic changes at every level. Yet, there are many whose voices are not heard, ideas are not valued and achievements are not recognized. In order for us to gain equality and gender parity, we must work together; we must stand as women, United, for one another.
United Way Association of South Carolina celebrates the voices, ideas and achievements of women who are leading the cause as they fight for the health, education and financial stability of every person in their communities. We celebrate the women who leading the work of United Ways across the state of South Carolina and driving social and systemic changes in the communities they call home as CEOs, Executive Directors, Board Members and staff.
