Women and Education Summit: Investing in Our Future – Oct. 30, 2012

Women and Education Summit: Investing in Our Future

October 30, 2012, 7:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Location: Little America Hotel, Grand Salon

United Way of Salt Lake is pleased to invite you to a half-day
Summit focused on women and educational achievement.

Post-Secondary education enrollment figures for Utah women have steadily declined since the early 1990′s; a disturbing trend that has resulted in Utah ranking 26th in the nation for higher education completion by women. The gap between male and females attaining four year degrees in Utah has grown to 6 percent. No other state is close to a gap this size. Ensuring women achieve success preparing for and completing post-secondary education takes all of us working together. Join us as we learn more about the challenges facing students today and what you can do to help women and girls be prepared, inspired, and have the tools necessary to reach their potential.

Your AAWCC officers would like to encourage you to get involved in this great opportunity:

The National Association of Women Business Owners-Salt Lake City is sponsoring a showing of the film Miss Representation by Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The show is being presented free of charge at the Grand Theatre at South City Campus on March 19th at 6:00 PM. For those of you who missed the showing last year, this is your second chance to see “the film that explores how the media’s misrepresentation of women have led to the underrepresentation of women in positions of power and influence.” For more information and to RSVP, please visit their website at www.nawboslc.org.

Utah Food Bank

admin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:27:55 +0000

On January 10th, 2012, I was able to join other AAWCC-SLCC members in visiting the new headquarters of the Utah Food Bank. We were able to donate 130 lbs. of food to help them achieve their mission to “meet the immediate basic needs of people in our community who don’t know where else to turn.” We were able to tour the new offices which included their Kids’ Cafe kitchen where they prepare nutritious meals for less fortunate children to eat after they leave school, and a conference room which is available to the public for training.

Inside of the food warehouse was hundreds of thousands of pounds of food. Several of the boxes had been decorated for the holidays by helpful kids. We also saw the large check that the Food Bank received from Wal-Mart from the Facebook campaign from last year. The money was used for refrigerated trucks that enabled the Food Bank to expand their grocery rescue program. This program works with local grocers to collect perishable items that are nearing their expiration dates. After the tour we were able to volunteer with other groups to sort and package meals for the elderly.

There are many opportunities available to volunteer or donate the the Utah Food Bank. Most opportunities are for people ages 12 and up, but on Monday evenings and Saturday mornings they invite families ages 5 and up to come join the fun. For more information about the Utah Food Bank, please visit their website at www.utahfoodbank.org.
