What our Members are saying

Dawn Pumpelly

2019 WEDC President

“I can easily say that I've never been a part of a professional or personal organization that has had as much impact on my life as WEDC. The support I've received from other WEDC members through times of transition in particular has been extraordinary -- from leaving a family business, to contemplating being a stay-at-home mom, to starting two new businesses, the women of WEDC have been my shoulders to cry on, my celebrators, my cheerleaders, my clients and customers, and my friends.”

Camillia King-Stanley

2021 WEDC President

“Iron sharpens iron and empowered women empower women.  The Women’s Economic Development Council, lovingly, pushed me out of my comfort zone, embrace the leader that’s within me and begin walking and owning the destiny I am to fulfill.”
