Why the WC Kira?

Being a strong, independent, kind and professional woman has always been important to me.

Women have skills and attributes that can make great influences/impacts in organizations/community but are underrepresented in leadership roles.  I have talked about the need for a strong women’s group for a very long time.  I am thrilled to be working with a passionate and fun group who are ready to make dreams a reality by acting on developing a collective that will get more women to the leadership table.
