What: The Fifth Annual Women’s Education & Leadership Institute Forum will bring together business and community leaders to support the Women’s Education & Leadership Institute (WELI). We invite you to join us in promoting the economic prosperity of women in the Salinas Valley through higher education. This important event will fund the WELI endowment, ensuring this invaluable support is available to the women of this community for generations to come.

Featuring: Panel discussion with Kate Roberts, President of the Monterey Bay Economic Partnership (MBEP), and Susan Black, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Pinnacle Bank.

Significance: Statistics support that a college-educated woman is more likely to become financially self-sufficient and pursue a meaningful career. The education level of a mother is a strong indicator of the success her daughters and sons will have as adults. WELI provides the four keys: resources, education, social support, and mentorship.

When: Thursday, September 20, 2018 ~ 5:30 -8:30 p.m.

Where: Tehàma Golf Club, 25000 Via Malpaso, Carmel, CA 93923

How: Support the important work of the WELI program by sponsoring and attending the Women’s Education and Leadership Institute Forum. Both sponsorship opportunities and individual tickets are available.

Background: Volunteer leaders identified a significant need to support women in their pursuit of an education and career. Two lead gifts through IMPOWER and Bruce Taylor of the Taylor family helped launch the program. The WELI program is in its eigth year. During 2018, our 200th student will graduate from the comprehensive program that combines a scholarship award of up to $2,000, one-year of mentorship, and participation in a three-day program focused on leadership and life skills workshops.
