Events are so important to us because community is at the core of who we are. CWIP hosts a variety of networking forums, seminars, workshops, & panels that allow our members to learn together and from each other. We connect women with resources, mentors, and mentees in order to help our community grow and flourish. From breakfast events to lunch events to after-work events, we are committed to providing opportunities for Chicago to connect, flourish, and leave feeling empowered.
Chicago Women in Philanthropy is seeking nominations for its Board of Directors to serve a three-year term from September 2017- August 2020. Any active CWIP members may self-nominate or nominate another CWIP member. We are seeking a diverse pool of candidates who have the capacity and willingness to play an active role on CWIP’s committees or task forces, either by co-chairing a committee or playing an active role in committee or board leadership.
Of all the Zoom events we've participated in the last year, last Thursday's Virtual BeMoved class was one of the best. Hosted by the CWIP Membership Committee, this session was a fantastic way to share a fun experience with CWIP peers and break a sweat!
In recent weeks, we have seen how the barrage of policy activity seeks to change how we fund, operate, and advocate for our vital social impact sector. In collaboration, our communities can both preserve essential practices and replace harmful ones. As Grace Lee Boggs wrote, “movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.” With that spirit of partnership and solidarity, we are sharing both gratitude and fortitude for the daily work you do.
