With hearts lifted and minds elevated, more than 50 women leaders attended “Elevate: Rising to the Occasion” in February at the Bright Shawl. They were educated on the impact their selfless gifts of volunteering and philanthropic giving throughout their life has on others. The attendees heard powerful stories of success through proper retirement and estate planning.
The half-day inaugural women’s conference was hosted by the UIW Planned Giving Council and the UIW Alumni Association. If you would like to help plan future women’s conferences or would like to be placed on an interest list, please call Alex Castaneda at (210) 829-6071 or e-mail her at macasta1@uiwtx.edu.
