Arizona Foundation for Women

We are thrilled to announce that 30 inspiring women have graduated from our 2024 SHE Leads!™ leadership program!

Over the past nine months, participants raised over $60,000 for nonprofits supporting Arizona women, including Check for a Lump, Time Out, Inc., Alice’s Place, Ruth Place, and Saving Amy.

Congratulations to our graduates and a big thank you to our sponsors—Achieve, Corporate Caterers Phoenix, and University of Phoenix—and to our session speakers for their invaluable contributions.
