    "The YWCA has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have been involved with the YWCA through volunteering, program participation, program planning, and participation in Regional and World YWCA Meetings and most recently as an employee at the YWCA San Francisco & Marin doing Program Coordination, Planning and Volunteer Recruitment. In no other part of my life have I met so many strong, dedicated, passionate, intelligent women than at the YWCA. I feel lucky to be a part of the YWCA movement and know that I am a stronger person due to my history with this organization."

    "I have been involved with the cause of women and empowerment since college, so I was delighted to be recruited for the YWCA Board of Directors. This organization walks the talk, promoting growth and empowerment for board members, employees, and volunteers as well as clients and the community at large."
