The Board has some exciting news! After reviewing an exceptional pool of candidates, we are pleased to announce the addition of seven new directors to the Board of the Women’s Birth and Wellness Center.

Please welcome:
Jane Brown, Kia Caldwell, Lisa Fedele, Anne Drapkin Lyerly, Bruce Nelson, Yesenia Polanco-Galdamez and Rebecca Swartz
to the Board. We are thrilled to have such a remarkable group of directors who are passionate about what we do at WBWC and believe strongly in our mission.

Connie, Meredith, and I would like to thank all who applied for directorship and hope that we can harness your interest in WBWC in other important ways as we work together toward our new birth and wellness center.

The full Board will have its first meeting March 21, and we will attend a board training as a group the weekend of March 31/April 1. We look forward to introducing our new directors to staff, and we’re eager to get started on raising funds, bringing ideas to the table, and helping WBWC realize our dream of a new facility.

Finally, Connie, Meredith, and I were so pleased to have such a strong candidate pool for board directorship. People in our communities are excited about us and passionate about what we do. It is a real testament to the hard work, leadership, and profound importance of providing women and their families with this option for maternity and wellness care. Congratulations to all of you who make WBWC who we are!
