Women in Philanthropy’s

2009 Founders’ Breakfast


Each year Women in Philanthropy honors our founders and celebrates the accomplishments of women during a breakfast meeting.  On November 19, 2009, members gathered to celebrate major accomplishments and call others to join the LIVE UNITED movement at Brookland Banquet and Conference Center.  The event highlighted the accomplishments of our 2009 Women in Philanthropy Grantees. This year, the featured guest speaker was Dr. Hildy Teegen, Dean of USC Moore School of Business, who spoke about the great strides in fundraising by the University.
