When I interviewed for the Program Assistant position at WEV, I had the opportunity to ask some of the staff what they found most rewarding about working here.  All of them agreed that there were two things that made their work especially gratifying:  seeing the clients achieve their business and career goals, and working in a supportive and encouraging environment.  It did not take me long to come to the same conclusions myself.

In the short time that I have been at WEV, I have come to appreciate the valuable work that we do, our contribution to the community, and the lives that we touch.  When I meet WEV clients and graduates, they are eager to share with me how WEV has provided the support and resources for them to succeed.  Their stories of perseverance and of triumph over adversity make me proud to be a part of WEV.

I feel very grateful to come to work everyday and be surrounded by a team of strong and intelligent women who genuinely believe in our mission and who are committed to the economic empowerment of our sisters.  While I was in college, I was also very fortunate to have met many successful women who became my mentors and role models.  These women encouraged me to dream big and go far.   Now that I am at WEV, I am able to complete the circle by giving back to the community, working hard to make a difference in the lives of the women who walk through our doors.   

WEV is truly an asset to our community and it is the ongoing support of concerned individuals like you who make our work possible.  Your contribution—however big or small—will go a long way; we hope that you will choose to make a gift today to help us in our endeavors.  Thank you for choosing to invest in WEV and in the lives of the many women of our community.

With appreciation,

Eva
