WOT has set a goal to raise $5000 towards operating budget for Quarter 1, 2018 which in return, helps us continue our efforts to educate, engage and empower others on Diversity & Inclusion and Economic Empowerment.
SPEED MENTORING RECAP
In support of our Women Economic Empowerment #WEE movement, we had the Kickoff of our 1st M.o.M Speed Mentoring with 12 TOP women leaders that met with 12 mentees in Greater Toledo on October 24th. Our M.o.M Kickoff was hosted by Councilwoman, Sandy Spang at Plate 21. No matter what industry you're in, or where you are in your stage of life, chances are, you could use a little advice now & again. That’s why WOT launched M.o.M. (Mentoring on the Moment) to help everyone connect in a meaningful, fun & fast-paced way.
OUR ADVOCACY August 26th -Toledo Equality’s Day
By a joint resolution of Congress on August 26, 1971, the first Women’s Equality Day was celebrated in NY. And every year since, Women’s Equality Day not only commemorates the passage of the 19th Amendment, but also calls attention to women’s continuing efforts toward full equality, continued support for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, funding for Title IX and Equal Pay legislation. To commemorate Women’s Equality Day, UAW Local 12 Women’s Committee, Women of Toledo and AAUW/Toledo sponsored a day of celebration here in Toledo.
Our own #bossedup
Women of Toledo’s team knows that it must stop sprinting through life and start training for it like a marathon. Our leaders are trained at state, national and international levels to better equip ourselves at bringing our community in Greater Toledo together to discuss the challenges that women and youth face in their daily life.
