Over the years of reading club reports on the wonderful
projects that our members do to support and enrich their communities, I have
been awed at the dedication and caring that is shown. Iowa clubwomen are resilient and strong and
truly live the volunteer spirit.
In my career, I have been troubled by the
struggles that those with mental illness endure. I have also seen the trauma suffered by
victims of human trafficking.
My theme this
administration is “Hearts United Raising Awareness.” My challenge to all of you this next two
years is to raise community awareness of mental health issues and human
trafficking. We all do great at this
within our own clubs; now let’s take it to the streets of our communities.
I also hope to
find new ways to continue the work of previous administrations in gaining and
retaining members. I hope to change the
question from “What is GFWC?” to “How can I join GFWC?” GFWC is the hidden gem of Iowa; let’s all
help make it shine bright.
I look forward
to working with you all during this 2022-2024 administration.
