2017 Site Visit Kick-Off | A Huge Success!
 T
This year’s Site Visit Kick-Off on September 26 attracted over 200 members and guests who gathered at The Fess Parker to hear from our eight grantees—the 2016-17 recipients of $485,000 in Women’s Fund grants last May.
Feedback from the attendees was extremely positive as we introduced a new, more casual program. With Leisa Cosentino as facilitator, agency representatives described the meaningful contributions the grants have made in the community. Armed with examples and stories of success, the panelists thanked Women’s Fund members for helping them make a difference in south Santa Barbara county.
