Senior Vice President Emeritus University of Southern California
I have been a member, and then director, of WLC for the past 12 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the women, the relationships, and the events that make it the great organization that it is today.
The personal integrity and genuine warmth and generosity of the women of WLC eclipse even their stellar professional accomplishments — such an honor to call these women my friends!
WLC is more than a council, it is a community that cultivates motivation, support and inspiration, while fostering real friendships and having a lot of fun!
There is nothing more invigorating to me than being in a room with the accomplished, amazing women that are members of the WLC. Everyone is so impressive. They have become my mentors, mentees, and my friends. It is an honor and true pleasure to be part of this organization and to serve as a board member.

The WLC holds a very special place in my heart, as it is with the women of the WLC I feel most understood as a senior executive, mother, friend and fellow traveler doing what I can to make the most of life’s journey.
What differentiates the WLC for me from other similar organizations is our commitment to outreach. Our mission statement includes a call to make a positive contribution to the next generation of women leaders and our community. Our long-standing partnership with the Fulfillment Fund takes those words and translates them into action through our mentoring program supporting Fulfillment Fund alumna as they make their way through their professional careers.
This group is truly my safe place — filled with amazing women who share many of the same challenges and issues, yet they come from diverse backgrounds and life stages. I do whatever I can to be at events or create an opportunity to get together even beyond WLC programs.

As a charter member of the WLC, I've made many dear friends; however, what I love most about being a part of this amazing group of women is how they each inspire me to be a better person.
WLC has been a unique opportunity for me to connect with like-minded and positioned career women. The luncheons have also provided me with insights into other industries and lives, unto which I could never have exposure to otherwise. It's provided me with lifelong relationships at a level not available to even a senior professional such as myself.
WLC is an unusual, curated collection of highly successful women coming together to create a stress-free zone in which to share stories and advice, and to grow from both our shared, and our divergent, personal backgrounds.
