I have attended Alive & Well Women’s (aliveandwellwomen.org) retreats, so know first-hand what a wonderful community of women they create, who love and enjoy being in our bodies just as we are. Although AWW founder Cissy Brady-Rogers has been running programs for women for many years, she just formed a board and nonprofit in 2015, so is still building the operational side of the organization and modify programs. JRP volunteer Margaret Kean, a former Exec. Dir. and current Dir. of Development, helped Cissy create a strategic plan to guide the next few years of the organization. Cissy loved working with Margaret, valuing her wise questions and conversation, stating that “she was a perfect match for our mission and our needs.” The AWW board is more aligned in priorities and knows that they have saved resources by being more targeted. Thank you, Margaret, for sharing your wisdom with AWW and thank you, Cissy and team, for providing such a serene space for women!
Jericho Road Pasadena connects skilled volunteers and board members with nonprofits that offer critical services to under-served residents in their communities. Meeting this need allows nonprofit staff to focus on stronger delivery of services, thereby building better communities.
