Important WFO Updates!
Greetings WFO Community,
Last month we were excited and BUSY celebrating Women's History Month, and these efforts have not stopped now that we are in April. We are thrilled to continue to do the work to honor Women's leadership and impact through our events and initiatives: from supporting our youth and their efforts (see below), to elevating the work of our committees and committee members, to consistently showing up on issues and for our folks, we are committed to collective action for gender, racial, and social justice. For example, earlier this week we coordinated with area leaders and got over 70 female athletes to the groundbreaking of the world's first dual training facility specifically for women professional sports. We have helped get high school athletes from Portland Public Schools, Beaverton, Hillsboro, North Clackamas and Albany to celebrate this historic event.
We want you to be part of our work and help us grow:

We are not backing down. Help us continue to shape the future we need for ourselves and the next generation.
In solidarity,
The Team at WFO
