Letter from Peg...
Dear current and prospective WLC members,
The Women’s Leadership Council (WLC) has provided me the opportunity to give back to our community by helping improve the well-being of our most vulnerable children. Being a grandmother of 5 wonderful girls under the age of 6, I can appreciate how important the early years are in establishing a lasting foundation for learning.
“Being a leadership giver is most important to me because I can have a part in making a real difference in someone’s future. I’m investing in people that need help, just like someone did in me. I wonder where I’d be today if no one had reached out to make a difference in my life.”
Teresa Amador, Texas Mutual
