“Why Did You Become a Member of the Women’s Giving Circle?”

Billye has been a member of the Women’s Giving Circle since 2015. She joined after attending her first voting event and said she was hooked. Billye loves the community feel of working with other women and appreciates the encouragement, laughter and learning that is shared amongst the group. She also enjoys seeing how her individual donation makes a direct impact on campus and beyond.

“I can be involved in the decision-making process, and my contribution becomes a part of something bigger. Voting Day will change your life. The most amazing part is watching this group of women make the final decision about funding in such a short amount of time. I’ve never left Voting Day thinking anything other than, ‘We did the right thing.’ It’s a great feeling to be a part of that.”
