Watch: Interviews With Inspiring Women

Thank you to all who joined us last week for our virtual rendition of Interviews With Inspiring Women, featuring Bev Mackereth.

If you missed the virtual session, CLICK HERE to watch a recording!

As Executive in Residence at Penn State York and owner of Mackereth Consulting, Bev has had incredible experiences in her career as a public servant and through her community involvement. She shared some powerful ways we as women can use our voice to make a difference on issues that matter to us, and the importance of authentic relationships and getting to know your co-workers, colleagues and fellow community builders.

We hope you left inspired to take action in our community!

Committee Spotlight: Mentorship
Getting involved with a committee is a great way to engage with Women United and get to know some of our members better! We often hear the question: What do our committees do? Each newsletter, we'll take a deeper dive.

The Mentorship Committee establishes and monitors mentoring opportunities for Women United members, including our involvement with York College's Community Opportunity Scholarship Program (YCCOSP). This is a great way to get involved with youth in York County and make a difference for young women.
