Women's Initiative welcomes new members

Membership in United Way for Southeastern Michigan's Women's Initiative continues to grow thanks to the group's dedication to addressing issues affecting women, children and families across the region.

Three new members recently joined the group. We are pleased to welcome:

• Deborah Thompson - Miller Canfield
• Sharon Field Hoffman - Wayne State University
• Blaire Miller - Virchow Krause & Company

The latest additions to the Women's Initiative raise total membership to 46 -- a 50 percent increase over 2007, and three times larger than the group in 2006.

The Women's Initiative is a Leadership Giving program, which means members contribute at least $1,000 annually to United Way.
