Join us for Women LEAD 2025 with the theme Redefining Wealth: Women Leading with Purpose and Passion. This transformative three-part series explores financial empowerment, philanthropic inspiration, and legacy creation, ultimately redefining wealth to show that it’s not just about having a lot of money—it’s about making the most of what you have. Discover how women can confidently manage their resources, leverage impact investing to align their financial goals with their values, and ignite their passions to create meaningful change in their communities. Featuring expert insights and inspiring stories, this series empowers women to lead with purpose and create legacies that endure for generations.

Women LEAD #2 will dive into philanthropic inspiration on Tuesday, February 25. How can women ignite their passions to make a difference in the community? What tools are available? We will cover everything from giving circles (like WIF) to DAFs and Impact Investing. 

We will be joined by moderator Katie Lynam, Senior Philanthropy Advisor with JP Morgan Private Bank in conversation with:

• Valaida Fullwood, Founder of NGAAP and Principal Architect and Vision Keeper at The Soul of Philanthropy;

• Meredith Heimburger, Partner, Head of Impact Investing at Global Endowment Management;

• Melissa Hovey, WIF Member and Managing Director, SHARE Charlotte; and

• Kerri Mast, WIF Member and Head of Philanthropic Advisory Services at Brown Brothers Harriman.

Appetizers and nonalcoholic beverages will be provided. Please join us for this important discussion. Attending other Women LEAD events is not required to attend. All are welcome - members and guests. If ticket cost is a barrier, please contact the WIF office.
