Watch: Mastering Time with Penny Zenker

We had a great time in October with Penny Zenker, international speaker, business coach, and author of the best-selling book “The Productivity Zone." Her words of wisdom on reducing stress, managing time, and shifting our focus and energy landed with our crew, and we were glad to see so many new and familiar faces for this virtual event.

Thank you to Her Traditions for co-presenting this session with us.

Social distancing guidelines will be followed and masks should be worn.

Gift Wrap Donation Drive
Women United will also be collecting wrapping paper and tape, to be distributed so that families have the necessary supplies to wrap their gifts at home. Please email Sarah Chain at chains@unitedway-york.org to coordinate drop-off at United Way.
Committee Spotlight: Program
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 Program Committee works to research and recommend speakers for our events, prepare agenda items, and secure Partner Agency speakers. This is a great way to get involved in the planning and structure of our year!
