GROW CONNECT LEAD

Volunteer Committees | Overview – 2022

Women2Women was founded by the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA) in 2011. Women2Women (W2W) encourages women to create connections, gain knowledge, open doors, build strategic alliances, and much more. The goal of W2W is to develop more women leaders in Berks County by providing a forum where women from diverse backgrounds can learn, share ideas and mentor one another. A special program of the GRCA, Women2Women operates and is accountable to GRCA and ultimately takes its directive from leadership of the organization. GRCA is very proud to have Women2Women as a valued and highly regarded part of the organization and values the volunteers of W2W as integral to its success. Women2Women has grown to be the region’s leading women’s network. W2W is not a separate 501(c)3 but operates under the umbrella of GRCA which is a 501(c)6. However, W2W utilizes the Chamber Foundation (501(c)3) for grants and other types of funding when appropriate.
