Women in Leadership & Philanthropy
The Women in Leadership & Philanthropy (WLP) program at USF is focused on engaging and educating its members in support of women and women's initiatives throughout USF and in our communities.
The continued success of WLP is the result of the collective generosity of all of our members, who lend their time, talent and treasure to make WLP the impactful organization that it has become. We thank you, our Founding, Lifetime, Corporate and Individual members, for your engagement and continued leadership and support, and encourage others to “join in” and become a part of the WLP Experience.
