Virtual Webinar: Leadership & Influence of Women & Philanthropy

Women are driven to advocate for positive change, to make connections in their communities.  We also know that more women than men volunteer their time; they are hard-wired to be engaged. Recent research has shown that women are different from men in how they consider philanthropy, both giving of money and of time. Join us on June 20th to learn about women, philanthropy and financial decision-making.

Apra-MD board member Andy Suther will be facilitating this conversation with Abbie von Schlegell.
