FROM PASSION TO PURPOSE
Women Leading on Boards

Are you keen on deepening your engagement with the community? Numerous opportunities exist for everyone to actively participate and make a meaningful impact – and that includes you.

Esteemed panelists, Stacey Ackerman of Wells Fargo, Julie Blehm (recently retired), Caitlin Stoeker of Doosan Bobcat and Melissa Sobolik of the Great Plains Food Bank collaborated to enlighten the women of our business community on how they can transform their passions into purpose for the greater good of our community.

This insightful discussion provided a platform for these accomplished women to delve into their personal journeys of leaving a lasting impression on the FMWF community. Attendees had the chance to actively engage, submitting their burning questions pertaining to board service and volunteer work.

From insights on board service paths to instilling confidence in involvement, these women demonstrated turning aspirations into reality. Wondering what's next? Our panelists advise embracing your true values, connecting with community organizations, exploring committee involvement and expressing interests to supportive network individuals who can guide you in your next steps.

“Be bold. Invite yourself,” Ackerman says with an echo from Blehm, “Just do it.”
