This week I will transition out of my role as Chair of 100 Women Strong. I have enjoyed working closely with Mumtaz Tharoo over the past year to grow 100 Women Strong and I know she will offer significant value as your new Chair. I’m excited to share that I will remain on the 100 Women Strong leadership team this year, serving as our Communication Lead and an Advisor as immediate past chair.
Serving as Chair of this giving circle has taught me so much over the past year. For the first time as a 100 Women Strong member, I became actively involved in our grants process from beginning to end as we developed the access to quality, affordable childcare grant. I am proud of the ways that we continue to grow strategically and our efforts to create lasting impact for women and children in the Central Florida community. Our industry events, grants celebration and this month’s Elevate Summit showcased the true desire the women in our community have to tackle complex issues together. The opportunity to serve as Chair has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally and I am grateful. I look forward to working with our new leadership team as we travel into this next chapter.
100WS' 2022 grant was awarded to Poverty Solutions Group. Read the full press release here.

Circles Orlando needs at least 10 new Circle Allies to partner with our Circle Leaders to help them find stability and thrive. Circles Orlando is a collaborative effort between Family Promise of Greater Orlando, Poverty Solutions Group, and other community partners to support families who have experienced poverty, homelessness, or other great financial crises in gaining economic stability through the transformational power of community. Circles needs people like YOU to build relationships with these families and help end the cycle of poverty in our community. We will begin training the next group of volunteers in July 2023. You can learn more by attending one of our Circles Information sessions in June:
