“The feedback from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive. Most women want to get involved giving back to the community by making a positive impact donating their time and skills, but they did not know how and who to contact. We had 44 attendees; the event was well received. They expressed appreciation for the engaging presentation, meaningful discussions, and the overall positive atmosphere.”
She added that celebrating women is important to WCSS because it aligns with their commitment to promoting gender equality and empowering women.
