Your presence at this gathering matters! You’ll stand alongside women who, like you, are dedicated to shaping a stronger, more equitable future for women and girls in Greater Waterbury and the Litchfield Hills. Together, we’ll explore the history and impact of how local women have been catalysts for our region. 

This complimentary event will feature a presentation by Barbara Bradbury-Pape, Director of Leadership giving for the United Way of Waterbury. In addition, we will unveil this year’s theme, and connect with other community-minded women. When we give together, we transform lives.

About our presenter:

Barbara is the Director of Leadership Giving for the United Way of Greater Waterbury. Prior to that, she worked as a development director for other local area nonprofits. Barbara has served on the boards of The Litchfield Historical Society, the CT League of History Museums, Flanders Nature Center and Land Trust, the New Britain Museum of American Art, and the Connecticut Community Foundation. She has an undergraduate degree in history and art history from St. Lawrence University and a master of American History from Tufts University where she focused her studies on late nineteenth and early twentieth century immigration and women’s history. 

You are the difference. Each voice strengthens our Circle. Each gift multiplies our impact. Together, we are fueling organizations that meet the most pressing needs of women and girls while lifting up the entire community. Thanks to past support, more than $230,000 has been invested in the lives of women and girls in the Greater Waterbury and the Litchfield Hills communities since 2016.
