These funds are used where the League needs it most which may include operating expenses, member education, and community projects. Just a few examples of how the League uses donations include procuring quality speakers and facilitators for general membership meetings, workshops, and leadership series; providing hands-on volunteer opportunities for our members in the community; and providing a safe and convenient location to have meetings and communicate.
