“Know Your Mamas: Female Leaders in Philanthropy (FLIP) Celebrates Five Years of Making a Difference”

Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin…the list goes on and on.  Men who helped to set the foundation for our country and helped to make it a better place.  But the list for women?  It’s shocking how few are in our top of mind awareness.  With Women’s Studies programs being dropped at many institutions across the country, it’s likely that this history could get lost forever.

Inspired by our keynote speaker, Ann Stallard, “Know Your Mamas” is a symposium to reach out to women, celebrate the good work of FLIP (Female Leaders in Philanthropy), honor  historical “Mamas” and motivate women to action in their community.  Women have a rich history in making an impact and breaking the mold…and we need to continue this tradition.  More importantly, YOU need to be part of it!
