This month’s speaker will be Diana Phillips, the Regional Executive Director

Phillips also manages mentor recruitment efforts, oversees fund development
efforts and develops corporate relationships throughout the region to meet the
needs of the children from eight different school districts.

fifth-graders, and a Scholarship program for local high school Seniors.
ECRW is a working organization of dynamic and diverse women who choose to
volunteer their time and talents to raise funds for their community projects
while educating women about the political process and how to become involved in
their local, state and federal government.
