Mission: OUR MISSION: Acknowledging, Honoring, Encouraging and Enriching Women.OUR VALUES & VISION: By demanding excellence of itself, utilizing the excellence of social and community leaders and publicly honoring excellence in others, Women's International Center reaches to assist and empower women, and those developing into womanhood, all over the world to rise to their fullest potential and to impact the world in a positive way.OUR GOALS: WIC seeks to bring hundreds together to celebrate the accomplishments and positive and lasting contributions of women. In so doing, WIC hopes to bring many to know, understand, appreciate, and hopefully incorporate the gifts women have given to improve the world, as well as deeds women and men have accomplished which have genuinely benefitted humanity. Further, WIC endeavors to educate and communicate vital information via hundreds of other valuable organizations-- such as economic, medical, emotional, psychological and "Safe Houses"-- to help and improve the lives of women.We do this via links to numerous organizations, partnerships with other vital organizations, workshops and seminars, provision of financial and hands on support and our annual Living Legacy Awards.
I have been attending Women's International Center Living Legacy Awards since the eighties, when, as a student, once a year, I would be dazzled by these few hours of amazing stories of accomplishments of remarkable women and men from all corners of the globe, at the top of their fields, making a lasting difference. By the end of the evening, audience members inevitably feel like they have longer wings, since the message is: "If I did it, you can too." WIC is a consciousness-raising organization, since we partner with select other non-profits. I highly recommend supporting WIC, since the scholarships chosen each year are for very needed causes and the Spotlight on Women speaker and networking series is educational and helpful to women in business. I have been proud and honored to donate my time for many years to WIC and look forward to many more. I can safely say that it is via this single organization that I have personally met some of the greatest figures of our time, an experience to be shared with anyone dedicated to WIC. We are one of the oldest and long-standing organizations dedicated to honoring, encouraging, and educating women, a mission that should be furthered always, in the name of a brighter world. - Bridget McDonald, CEO WIC
