Workshop for women to focus on 'the next step'

Date: 8/10/2009

Do you wish to further your education? Are you looking for opportunities to volunteer, to serve on a board or do community service?

Would you like to become a civic leader in your community but don't quite know where to start?

Then join the Women's Fund of Western Massachusetts at "Next Steps."

The event will bring together women who want to take that next step. Explore volunteer and mentoring opportunities. Discover the programs and services of area organizations. Speak with college admission representatives. Attend a financial aid information session. Learn about Go Run/Go Lead at the White House Project information session on the upcoming training for women interested in building their leadership skills or running for public office.

This women's event will take place on Aug. 24 from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the Greek Cultural Center on Main Street in Springfield.
