Attendance

• Staff in attendance: Heather Arnet, Tara Simmons, Olivia Benson, Amirah Hunt, Rochelle Jackson, Satvika Neti, Maryem Aslam • Board members in attendance: Diane Petronko, Maris Bondi, Len Caric, Dan Law, Nikki Lu, Mary McGlohon, Roselyn Wilkinson, Janis Burley Wilson, Arthur Pang, and Andrea Fitting

Len started the meeting at 4:38pm and asked for a motion to approve the December meeting minutes:

• Arthur motions & Diane seconds to approve the meeting minutes; all approve

Len explains new structure of Board meetings. Then, Len discusses the fiduciary responsibility (for all boards) but particularly for WGF—he emphasized thinking about the current situation and what the board needs to do for future sustainability of the organization

Some reminders:

• Board should not be at the management level-that is not the purpose • Executive committee wants to be respectful of time (2 hour meetings should be 2 hours) • Attendance at board meetings is imperative. We don’t have many, so attendance is especially important • Fundraising: Hillman grant is great—Congrats (hooray for Heather & team!)—but WGF also needs to think about future funding and sustainability • Read packets for detailed information/updates before the meeting & then learn about highlights AT meeting • Committees: we need to be able to rely on committees to learn about different aspects of WGF o Maris asked if existing committees will stay still exist (ex: policy committee)

Staff Reports

CEO Report (Heather)

• Tonight and at future meetings, we will provide updates in real time on information that is not included in staff reports in board packets • Thanks to the Host Committee for the Love & Resistance event! THANK YOU • Communications Team, Rochelle, & Heather met with Hillman and Opportunity Fund representatives to talk about Femisphere project progress to date • Paid Family and Medical Leave Act in PA (PFMLA) report designed by Tara—available on website

Community Engagement (Olivia)

• Thanks again to Host committee of Love & Resistance! o SOBA staff gave great feedback and asked WGF to return & make it an annual event • New & exciting update: Wingmen o Heather, Olivia, and Gigi (GirlGov participant) met with David Malone back in January to ask for a donation of $100k o Context: there were lots of news stories about men treating women badly & scandals erupting daily, and Dave, along with WGF team, wanted to develop something so that well known men in Pittsburgh could combat that with their financial power and set an example of men in leadership supporting the future generation of female leaders o Dave made some calls and got 11 friends to commit to pledge $10k EACH to WGF!

• Discussion among board members/staff: o Go back and ask the organizations that Wingmen work at for additional funding o Now we can ask more/other men to step up o Tell men/organizations about WGF o How can we go about changing the misogynistic culture? o Hooray for funds, but let’s use this leverage to change minds o Systemic change—is it possible in Pittsburgh? o This is one step closer—they refused to give WGF a meeting before January o Maybe as we invite these men to events so that they can see the culture of WGF o Possibly invite some people to GirlGov graduation event in June § Father’s Day = June 17 (day of GirlGov Harrisburg Retreat kickoff) § Discussed the potential of men coming to that…mostly unlikely

Wingmen Project—deserves to be acknowledged as we move forward. Great work, WGF Team!

Feedback about Love & Resistance: from a corporate perspective, the word “resistance” might raise red flags – missing out on donation potential

GirlGov (Amirah)

• GirlGov applications for 2018-19 program year open on March 1 • Chester County branch of GirlGov is successfully moving forward • Summer intensive in the works—collaboration with Chatham University • PULSE fellow Maryem in attendance

Finance Committee:

• Audit passed—kudos to Tara! • Committee is looking for a new audit firm—who should we send RFP to? Or not send it to? • Roselyn explained that Finances are holding steady but emphasized that the board needs to step up and fulfill their responsibility of “Give or Get $10k” annually; she will be following up individually with each board member in the coming months

Governance Committee update: vote needed

• Arthur presented as the new chair of Governance committee formally nominates for election by the Board of Directors, the following slate of New Board Directors to serve a term of three years each, beginning July 1, 2018. o Dr. Audrey Murrell o Erin Wilson o Vanessa Thompson o Rosamaria Costello o Julie Hallinan o Andrea Stanford o Liana Walters, Esq. • Motion to approve board candidates: Roselyn; Nikki seconded o All approved—no objections

• Tara described database conversion and the effort of the WGF team—we’ve been working on this since September! • Satvika does brief walk-through of the new website o intentional thought and placement put into particular features of the website • Board provides feedback on new website: o How can someone “get involved”? o “Your support” tab IS “get involved” –it is meant to be overarching o It is confusing—seems like a “donate” button, but there is already a donate button o “Get involved”/”volunteer” category should be clearly labeled • Can we make the logo larger? It’s so symbolic and great—it should be a cool soaring logo as you scroll through the webpage • Colors look great and pull from the clothing of the people (behind the scroll bar) very well

Board of Directors role in supporting WGF

1. Annual budget is important. How can we begin to establish an endowment? o Julie Hallinan (new board member) is a professional fundraiser—can we tap into her skill set? 2. Board retreat • Potentially have it in conjunction with the GirlGov Harrisburg Retreat • New board is expecting an orientation • What other GirlGov events are planned are in the process of getting planned? o May be beneficial to have Board Retreat near the GirlGov retreat o Identify a date as far in advance as possible • Goals: sustainability & endowment for WGF

Adjournment: Maris moves to adjourn at 6:30pm & Len seconds motion; all approved Minutes recorded by Maryem Aslam Submitted to the Board by Andrea Fitting, Board Secretary

CEO Report

CEO Report to the Board May 2018 Board Meeting Q3 2017-2018 Q3 = January – March 2017

Progress this Quarter towards the goals articulated in our 2017-2020 Strategic Plan.

Goal 1: Grow What Works This area of our Strategic Plan challenges us to focus on core programming and to explore future strategic partnerships and expansion opportunities. Activities of note this quarter: • We agreed to renew our partnership with Gwen’s Girls, YWCA, and Chatham University for another year. This series of offering free groundbreaking films by female filmmakers on important social issues has proven to be a wonderful way to connect with the public and diverse community partners throughout the year attracting on average at least 50 people to each screening monthly. • Our relationship to JustFilms created a new opportunity this year when the Three Rivers Film Festival Director reached out to JustFilms this quarter and said that their film festival this summer would showcase ALL female directors AND they asked the partners in JustFilms to review the submitted films and be the selection committee this year. And so members of WGF, Gwen’s Girls, YWCA, and Chatham’s Women’s Institute were able to select the films that will be shown at the Three Rivers Film Festival this year! Pretty cool, right?? One of the films will even be designated as a “JustFilms” film – a wonderful way to raise the profile of our series and WGF! • GirlGov is a significant component of Goal 1 of the Strategic Plan. Members of the GirlGov Leadership Council will present to the Board of Directors in person at the May Board Meeting. At this meeting, the girls will update you on the work they have been doing in their committees this year. Because the girls will present in person, we are not including a GirlGov written report in this board packet. We will post a report after the meeting, along with video from the meeting to update board members who are unable to join us in person. • This quarter I met once again with the President of Chatham University to continue to explore future opportunities for long-term partnership, including the opportunity to establish a GirlGov summer camp at Chatham University, which we are still trying to do for Summer 2019.

Goal 2: Communicate More Effectively This area of our Strategic Plan challenges us to find ways to communicate our work, and the impact of our work, to the community more effectively. Activities of note this quarter: • The public release of the PA State Study on Paid Family Leave in January and specifically the creation and distribution of a reader-friendly Executive Summary of that report by the WGF staff. (A PDF of this document can be found on the Board Portal.) • The posting of this Report and Summary on the new and improved PaidLeaveforPa.org campaign website (created, designed, and hosted by WGF. Designed/Built by Satvika) • The media coverage of the release of the PA State Study on Paid Family Leave. Olivia has included a full media report from this quarter in her section. Please take a look. • A coordinated social media campaign supporting the roll out of the study supported by Satvika Neti, the newest member of the WGF Team. • We have also contracted Jordan Rooney to make a series of online videos to engage non-traditional audiences in the Paid Leave campaign. And we have engaged Thea who made our infovideo on Paid Leave to create a few more animated short videos for us in the future. And continue to look into ways to do targeted placement of these videos once they are completed. Goal 3: Maximize Impact This area of our Strategic Plan includes several components, including stabilizing our grantmaking efforts; a mandate to partner more and leverage our networks; and a directive to enforce a two-tier advocacy strategy focused on Paid Family Leave. Activities of note: • This year we have awarded grants of about $150,000 to community partners including Women’s Law Project, PAEYC, BFECo, All for All, Midwives Center, New Voices Pittsburgh, Casa San Jose, Pittsburgh United, & Standing Firm. • Two new partnerships of note from this quarter: • Inspired by the teen activists in Parkland, several members of GirlGov became leaders in the teen-led Gun Reform movement. Here are photos taken by members of GirlGov who participated in the DC March for Our Lives. WGF partnered with One PA to support this teen-led movement. Four busses of teens from Pgh attended the march. One bus of 50 were all girls, most of them from GirlGov! WGF made a grant to underwrite that bus & support the leadership of our girls. GirlGov members who could not go to DC attended the local march in Pittsburgh.

• “All for All” a cohort of Immigrant and Refugee community organizations, brought together via Changeagency.org (whose CEO is Betty Cruz), asked us if we could design a Leadership Development program to train more members of All4All to be leaders and advocates in their community. We partnered with a professor at Carlow University who specialized in Leadership Development Curriculum to develop this class and we began offering the workshop to All4All members this month. WGF is underwriting the entire workshop which is free to participants and includes three four-hour trainings over the course of one month. The workshop sessions include complimentary dinner, parking, and childcare for all participants. WGF is making this program available to the Immigrant & Refugee community as part of Femisphere as we see this as a core component of our mission and of the work of Femisphere.

Goal 4: Building Sustainability This area of our Strategic Plan challenges us to build a Board of Directors which is fully engaged in resource development and to build an organization which has short and long term fiscal sustainability. Activities of note this quarter: Fundraising – New Income - Between January st and March 31st – Q3 Only Actual Budget Difference Revenue $171,130.98 $103,000 +166%

Fundraising – New Income - Between July st and March 31st - YTD Actual Budget Difference Revenue $762,861 $550,000 +138% • This total does not include • $20,000 PNC grant we are waiting to hear about. • $500,000 Hillman Foundation check which arrived May 5th. • $100,000 in new donations from the Wingmen which will arrive in May and June.

COO Report COO Report to the Board – May 2018

I’m happy to present to you this quarter’s COO report. I also invite each of you to reach out to me directly at any time of the year if you have questions about WGF operations or finance. Heather and I hope that in time you will get to know each member of the team, and their role(s) within WGF, so that you can connect with them directly about how you can support or get involved with their projects.

Goal 1: Grow What Works • We have three FANTASTIC interns joining us this summer! Karryann Kohlbeck will be working with Heather on Paid Leave; Nadia Finkel will be working with Olivia and Satvika on some communications/writing projects; and Madison Dalton (GirlGov alumni), will be working with me and Rochelle on some data/research work related to both Femisphere and WGF donor records. • We continue our search for a new Administrative Assistant. This search has been TOUGH, but we’ve narrowed it down to two candidates, and hopefully by the time the board meets in person, we’ll have made an offer to one of them. • We’re also in the final stretch of the GirlGov programming year, and we’re all looking forward to the Harrisburg trip in June. Heather and I are especially delighted that one of our former CORO Fellows is interested in starting a GirlGov in her home country of Peru. She and a colleague will be joining us on the Harrisburg trip to observe the retreat first hand.

Goal 2: Communicate more effectively • We have upgraded our website, donor database, and electronic communications platforms. If you’ve ever led or participated in a major technology upgrade, you know that there are always lots of loose ends to tie up after a ‘conversion’. And so, while we’ve officially flipped the switch, we’ll continue to tie up those loose ends through the spring and summer.

Goal 3: Maximize Impact • We’ve done extensive research to select a new audit firm. The finance committee and I have narrowed it down to two firms and I will be checking references and collecting answers to a few lingering questions. And then we will select a new firm! • We continue to be significantly behind goal on new donations from individuals, monthly sustainer members, and board event fundraising. These are the areas in which we must have board assistance in order to achieve long-term sustainability and to ensure we have discretionary, non-restricted income to support the operations of our organization. Roselyn will be connecting with each board member individually about your give-or-get goals. • The emphasis of our Board Retreat June 28-29 at the Hilton Garden Inn at Southpointe will be to examine opportunities and options for board fundraising activities into next fiscal year. We know that some board members would like us to explore holding a gala, as we have done in the past, but we will also discuss additional ideas as well. We hope that EVERYONE can join us at the retreat.

Goal 4: Building Sustainability Conversations with Chatham continue, albeit slowly. We’re wrapping up the second JustFilms series in partnership with Chatham’s Women’s Institute, and we’re about to begin planning for the third season! Amirah has been talking with the Chatham Summer Camp staff to explore ways to co-host a summer camp version of GirlGov in 2019. If that does not come to fruition, we are exploring additional avenues to offer a shortened, fee-based (and revenue generating) GirlGov program to local students with another college or nonprofit partner.

Femisphere Report

Femisphere Director Report to the Board May 2018 - Q3 2017-2018

The Femisphere initiative continues to grow momentum and the community is extremely excited about this project and the potential impact it can have for single moms in our region. There are many community and human services organizations that have aligned themselves as partners with us in this work. The grantee partners are making great progress in their work and together we are making great strides.

Goal 1: Grow What Works • I continue to work very closely with the HPOG program, our grantee partner, to increase the number of low- income single moms participating in the program. I have been actively engaging the community and recruiting for the program. We had our own HPOG materials produced and I have been distributing them at community meetings that I attend as well as resource fairs. I have continued to engage the Department of Human Services as a partner in this work to ensure that we are reaching TANF clients from as many angles as possible. We are in the process of posting HPOG posters and postcards in all the County Assistance Offices in Allegheny County. My intensive work with the program continues to be on recruiting TANF clients, as that is the area that needs the most improvement. However, we have made significant progress in this area and the TANF enrollment continues to increase, we are now up to 205 TANF clients in the program which is 15% of the total number of participants. Overall, there are 1400 participants in the program with 1092 waiting to complete the intake process. We just celebrated all of the hard work of HPOG staff and single mom participants with an end of the year celebration at CCAC Allegheny Campus. • Overall I have continued to work with our grantee partners but have worked more closely with Trying Together (formerly PAECY) in developing a non-traditional hour childcare survey. We engaged One PA as an community partner to provide some insight on the survey and the process for getting it out. It has been a challenging process to monitor but I am happy to report that the survey has now been developed and Trying Together will begin distribution of it within the next month or so. An added piece of this work is a focus group on the subject which will be done in collaboration with some of our labor union partners who will connect us to employees who have had experienced challenges with non-traditional hour childcare. I am planning to bring the partners together in July for another joint meeting. • I have begun to facilitate “Lunch N’ Learns” with single moms in the communities that we highlighted in our Femisphere report as having the highest concentrations of single moms struggling with poverty in the city of Pittsburgh. So far I have facilitated six of these in 2018 with the goal to facilitate at least one in each of the 16 communities. These are informal discussions with moms about their experiences, challenges and barriers to overcoming poverty. The goal is to gather qualitative data and stories to combine with our quantitative data that we will collect through the child care survey being conducted by Trying Together. I have continued to working collectively with my WGF team and recently we worked together to put together an RFP for the Femisphere app which we submitted to Google for a grant. Sadly, we did not get the grant but we have continued to work on the development of the app and possible ways to fund it.

Goal 2: Communicate more effectively • I spend a lot of time out in the community communicating the mission and vision of Femisphere and growing support for our work • I continue to be invited to join key organization and county committee meetings and discussions, which is an important part of this work. It is important to be a part of these discussions which involve decision making to ensure that single moms are at the center of this process. • With the help of our Social Digital Coordinator, I continue to work on posting regularly on the Femisphere Facebook page to keep our followers engaged and the Femisphere Twitter account is now up and running. • We now have new materials for Femisphere and I have been distributing them across the city

Goal 3: Building Sustainability

• Based on discussions we have been having with our community partners and single moms across the city, we have begun working on a new pilot project to address the lack of non-traditional hour childcare in our region. We are working with YWCA and Penn State to develop a project to train 10 single moms from the communities with the highest concentration of single moms to provide child care for other moms in the community during non-traditional hours. We will be kicking this project off this summer with a boot camp and then will work closely with the moms providing them with the tools, resources and assistance they need to become a successful small business over the next year • I am planning to have the first meeting of the Femispere Advisory Council in September. • Just recently I participated in a Health Impact Assessment training hosted by the Allegheny Health Department, in which our Paid Family Leave Campaign was used as one of three case studies. The Health Department is planning to move forward with actually doing a Health Impact Assessment and is interested in partnering with us to include our campaign in the Assessment.

Goal 4: Maximize Impact • We have met with key executives at both UPMC and Gateway to start to develop a process for connecting HPOG graduates to job openings in their organizations. We also discussed ways to reach their customers with the information about the HPOG program and Femisphere Lunch N’ Learns. Through this work I was connected to nurses and the Community Outreach Coordinator for Magee. Femisphere will be setting up a resource table in Magee’s Outpatient Clinic which is used by low-income women. • WGF is coming to be known as the experts on the subject of single moms and poverty. We have been asked to participate in various discussions and think tanks. There is much more awareness of poverty among single moms and the community is beginning to strategize about solutions. CCAC has committed to developing and distributing a survey of their students to determine how many of them are single moms so they can begin to develop ways to provide them with more support. • I am working with Uber on developing two different pilot projects to address transportation barriers for single moms. More details to follow.

Community Engagement & Digital Advocacy Report Community Engagement/Digital Advocacy Report to the Board

MAY 2018 – Q3 Board Meeting

Dear Board Members,

Our goals this quarter were to increase the number of sustainers, fundraise for the organization through smaller grant awards, continue to partner with outside organizations on events that align with our focus areas, and earn paid media around our initiatives. Additionally, Olivia attended the United States of Women Summit in Los Angeles and Satvika will be attending a digital advocacy training in Denver in June. Below is a summary of activities from the past quarter and some upcoming activities.

Community Engagement Updates:

We hope that their new investments in WGF will inspire other men to give to WGF. We look forward to the WGF board utilizing this new donor campaign to engage more men in investing in WGF. • Member Events: We held a member cultivation event every month (see list below under Maximize Impact). • Volunteer Program: a.

Dillon Carr | Tribune-Review Gateway High School students cheer and chant during a walkout to protest gun violence on Wednesday, March 14, 2018. About 200 students from Pittsburgh and the region are expected to board buses early Saturday and head to Washington, D.C., to protest on behalf of friends, classmates, neighbors and their communities. Organized by the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., where 17 people died in a Feb. 14 shooting, the national March for Our Lives event is intended to advocate for safer schools and demand action on gun control legislation.

But Washington-bound students like Christian Carter, a senior at the Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA) magnet school, say it is about more than protecting schools. “It's not just our schools, it's ‘protect our communities,'” he said.

Carter, classmate Nia Arrington and several peers at CAPA, along with students at surrounding suburban schools, planned the Washington trip. With the help of One Pennsylvania, a progressive advocacy group, they organized four charter buses to take local students to the march. Attendees hail from the Pittsburgh Public Schools system along with suburban districts like Baldwin-Whitehall, North Hills, Seneca Valley, Upper St. Clair and Woodland Hills.

They plan to wear orange — the color recognized nationwide as symbolizing gun violence awareness — and carry signs as they march together under the moniker Youth Power Collective. “I think that if we show up to Washington, 200 strong, wearing the same shirt, representing a city in Pennsylvania, where people think it's all farms, I think it will be so cool,” said Arrington, who has been active in organizing around social, environmental, education and economic justice issues in the past through her involvement with One Pennsylvania and GirlGov, an initiative of the Pittsburgh-based Women and Girls Foundation. “Activism for me is just elevating anyone's voice to get them heard on any platform,” Arrington said. “I think successful activism is any time you cause a ruckus.” Zoe Vongtau, a senior at Baldwin High School, also helped organize the trip. “I hope the fact that this is student-led promotes the idea that students should be doing this type of work all the time,” Vongtau said. Some local students are ﬁnding other routes to the march in Washington. Rae Prunty, a senior at Pittsburgh's Winchester Thurston School, will drive down with a small group of friends. Though this will be his ﬁrst trip to Washington, Prunty said he has been active with organizing locally for causes such as Black Lives Matter.

He's going to Washington because he wants to remind legislators that they, too, once were teenagers. New 54% “I think it's54% mainly important45% because 43%it's time for our33% lawmakers 48%to see that our youth, we have valid points, and it's time they start taking us seriously,” Prunty said. Micah Symons, a senior at Gateway High School in Monroeville, grappled with whether to stay in Pittsburgh or represent the city in the nation's capital. When the opportunity to go to Washington was offered through his youth group, the Pennsylvania Area Region of the North American Federation of Temple Youth, he took it. “There are certainly plenty of passionate students who want gun reform in Pittsburgh,” he said. “But when you come to D.C., it becomes a national thing in terms of the people who are actually in D.C.” LOCAL EVENTS As students from across the country march in Washington, students from Southwestern Pennsylvania will gather in Pittsburgh for one of over 800 planned sister events registered with the national March for Our Lives organization. Pittsburgh march organizers Erin and Emma Simard expect more than 3,000 people to take to Downtown streets Saturday. “It's been a lot of students, but surprisingly a lot of adults as well, who want to bring their younger children, or also elderly activists,” said Erin Simard, a Shady Side Academy junior.

Attendance will not be limited to students attending brick-and-mortar schools. Seventh- grader Owen Chaffin, 13, of Bethel Park hopes to lead a group of fellow home-schooled students at the march. “Just because we learn at home doesn't mean we're not in danger at movie theaters, airports and malls — all places that gun violence have occurred,” Chaffin said, who encourages home school and cyber school students to march and stand in solidarity with peers who attend brick-and-mortar schools. “This isn't just about school shootings, this kind of gun violence is happening everywhere.” State Sen. Wayne Fontana, D-Brookline, will attend the march, his office confirmed.

U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle, D-Forest Hills, and Democrat Conor Lamb, the winner of the recent Congressional District 18 special election, are expected to attend, Simard said. Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto also will be there, his oﬃce said. Peduto tweeted support for students' efforts to organize on March 14, the same day students across the city and region participated in a national school walkout to support initiatives focused on improving school safety and ending gun violence as well as to honor the one-month mark of the Florida shooting.

“To the students of Pittsburgh & those throughout our country, your voices are being heard,” Peduto tweeted. “Your actions are being followed. Your city, your country, your world await you.” Related events in Southwestern Pennsylvania include a rally Friday at the Westmoreland County Courthouse in Greensburg hosted by the group Voice of Westmoreland. “We wanted to have an event here in Greensburg, and in Westmoreland County, to raise awareness for that big event or for those who can't make it into Pittsburgh,” said Sarah Skidmore, a member of Voice of Westmoreland. Skidmore's daughter, Emma, has been involved in the planning.

“This is something that high school students directly have to deal with,” the 16-year-old Greensburg Salem High School junior said. “Even if a shooting is not happening in their high school, it's happening to other high school students. It's hard to imagine what they're going through.” Skidmore hopes about 100 people will attend Friday's rally. Students from Greensburg Salem and Hempﬁeld Area high schools are expected to speak and display signs. On Saturday, the Beaver County Young Democrats will host a rally at the Beaver County Courthouse. The event will feature speeches by students from Hopewell, Beaver and Beaver Falls high schools as well as Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School and the University of Pittsburgh. Aliquippa Mayor Dwan Walker along with several candidates in local races are also scheduled to attend. Organizers expect 50 to 100 people, said Victoria Smith, president of the Young Democrats group. The 12th Congressional District Chapter of Progressive Democrats of America and the Moral Mondays Coalition assisted with planning the Beaver rally. Jamie Martines is a Tribune-Review staff writer.

Original article:

As discussions swelled (https://theincline.com/2017/10/04/should-pittsburghs-stephen-foster- statue-stay-or-go-heres-what-residents-think-and-what-happens-next/) in October about the fate of the Stephen Foster statue, Jessie Ramey, director of the Women’s Institute at Chatham University, asked a question about Pittsburgh’s statues: “Where are all the women, especially women of color?”

In a column for the Post-Gazette, published between the two public hearings about the statue, Ramey wrote:

It’s long past time to recognize the women who shaped Pittsburgh’s history as leaders, thinkers and artists. By highlighting the achievements and contributions specically of women of color, we can center the experiences of those most marginalized in our culture.

She added that “public art reects a community’s values and priorities,” and offered a list of “seven remarkable women who are ready for their statues in the Steel City.” (Read about those women here.) (http://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/Op-Ed/2017/10/15/The-Next-Page-Black-women-absent- Pittsburgh-s-public-art-Jessie-B-Ramey/stories/201710310013)

Ramey’s column was the starting point of what’s now Pittsburgh’s Task Force on Women in Public Art, which is leading a search to select an African-American woman to honor (https://theincline.com/2018/03/14/pittsburgh-wants-to-replace-oaklands-controversial-stephen- foster-statue-with-one-honoring-an-african-american-woman/) with a statue in place of the Stephen Foster statue in Oakland, the city announced Wednesday.

Following the column, Ramey, as well as several others, who are now task force members, met with then-Council Member Dan Gilman and showed him the column calling for a statue of a Pittsburgh African-American woman. Currently, the city has very few monuments and/or statues dedicated to women and none to African-American women. From there, the task force began.

At rst, the task force thought there could be multiple locations for the statue, said member Lindsay Powell, a policy analyst in the mayor’s ofce and a honoree of The Incline’s Who’s Next politics. (https://theincline.com/2017/11/14/whos-next-politics-18-rising-leaders-shaping-pittsburghs- tomorrow/) But when the group really considered the narrative and the concerns about what the Foster statue represented, replacing that statue with this new one would be a way to show how the city has progressed, she said.

And, she said, it would “honor and celebrate the legacy of women of color in Pittsburgh.”

Having a statue, not an art installation or plaque, would show African-American women someone who looks like them in a permanent way, she said, adding that it was important to commemorate that legacy in a way that wasn’t temporary. However, per the city, it is possible that the new public art will honor more than one woman. The 12-member task force includes representatives from the city like Powell, as well as Ramey and others from multiple organizations focused on women, inclusion and more.

Rochelle Jackson, director of the Women and Girls Foundation’s Femisphere Project, (http://wgfpa.org/femisphere/) said having two representatives on the task force — CEO Heather Arnet and Olivia Benson, community engagement director — reects the Femisphere’s goal of making “Pittsburgh an ecosystem where women and girls can thrive.”

“For that to happen, women need to be at the center of development efforts and black girls and women need to be able to see themselves reected in the honored history of this city,” she said via email.

Additional task force members are:

Terri Baltimore, director of neighborhood engagement for the Hill House Association Esther Bush, president and CEO of the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh Kathi Elliot, executive director of Gwen’s Girls Kevin Jenkins, executive vice president and COO of Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild Valerie McDonald-Roberts, chief of urban affairs for the city Itha Cao, policy analyst for the city Gloria Forouzan, ofce manager for the city Yesica Guerra, public art and civic design manager for the city

On Wednesday, the city launched an online forum seeking feedback (http://www.pittsburghpa.gov/mayor/survey/index.html) from residents. The forum includes the seven women (listed below) that Ramey said are statue-ready as well as a place for added suggestions:

Catherine Delany (1822-1894), abolitionist Madam C.J. Walker (1867–1919), entrepreneur Jean Hamilton Walls, Ph.D. (1885-1978), educator and leader Mary Cardwell Dawson (1894-1962), singer Selma Burke (1900-1995), artist Helen Faison, Ph.D. (1924-2015), educator Gwendolyn J. Elliott (1945-2007), police ofcer

The list of seven women is by no means exhaustive, and the task force wanted to consider all the African-American women who have contributed to the vibrancy of the city, Powell said. Now that the online forum is open, she said the next step is setting community meetings to gather more public input. The community feedback will lead to request for proposals for the artwork, which will then go to Pittsburgh’s Public Art Commission. A timeline has not been set. The Foster statue, which shows him seated above what’s considered to be an objectionable depiction (https://kinja.com/api/prole/getsession? redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fverysmartbrothas.theroot.com%2Fsetsession%3Fr%3Dhttps%253A%252 most-racist-statue-in-america-is-in-pittsburgh-1797950305) of a black musician, is due to be removed in April. Conversations about the statue’s fate reignited after deadly protests in Charlottesville, Va., last year and as cities across the country remove controversial and racist public art. The city’s Art Commission recommended removing and relocating (https://theincline.com/2017/10/25/pittsburghs-art-commission-recommends-removing-and- relocating-the-stephen-foster-statue/) the statue, which was commissioned in 1900, and Mayor Bill Peduto said he’d meet an April deadline (https://theincline.com/2018/02/20/pittsburghs-stephen- foster-statue-will-be-taken-down-by-april/) for that recommendation.

As for the task force, Powell said it’s possible it will continue after this project and do more to increase the representation of women in all forms of public art. But for right now, the group is focused on this project.

It’s been exciting to see the early response, she said, adding that it’s a way for the city to address the concerns about the Foster statue and move forward to honor a new legacy.

“It shows that we’re listening as a city and trying to address a lot of historical hurt,” she said.

Women urge Senate to pass gender diversity resolution

State Capitol press conference speakers included Sen. Schwank, former Cambridge-Lee Industries CEO, President of EWC, and CEO of Women and Girls Foundation of Southwest PA

By From Sen. Schwank’s Office

Tuesday, April 3, 2018

Women, including several from Berks County, gathered in the State Capitol Rotunda for a press conference March 27 to bring Senate Resolution 255 to the forefront.

Sponsored by Sen. Judy Schwank (D-Berks County), the Resolution, titled “Encouraging equitable and diverse gender representation on the boards and in senior management of companies in Pennsylvania,” currently stands in the Senate Rules and Executive Nominations Committee.

Featured speakers at the Press Conference included Schwank, Andrea Funk, former CEO of Cambridge-Lee Industries LLC, a pipe supplier in Berks County, Christine Koebley, President of Executive Women’s Council of Pittsburgh, and Heather Arnet, CEO at Women and Girls Foundation of Southwest PA.

“We’re here to discuss something I feel is really obvious, the fact that women are different than men and women bring a unique perspective to anything that they are engaged in, and those perspectives demand consideration in every aspect of society,” Schwank said. “We have a unique voice that can bring about necessary changes.”

The Resolution urges privately held and publicly traded businesses and nonprofits doing business in the Commonwealth to have a minimum of 30 percent women directors by Dec. 31, 2020 progressing toward equal representation of men and women on an annual basis with measurable results. Further, that gender diversity will be good for business in Pennsylvania.

Andrea Funk, the former CEO of Cambridge-Lee Industries, said despite being the top female executive in two organizations, she was frequently excluded from executive meetings and presentations.

“In fact, I was most commonly the note-taker, or secretary, in many of these meetings in which the work was done and recommendations were formulated, and then excluded from the concluding meeting, in which my recommendations were presented and the ultimate decision was decided,” Funk said. “I don’t believe I was intentionally excluded but I was not intentionally included. I needed resilience and perseverance to achieve the role of CEO. It is harder to be heard without support and a seat at the table.”

Christine Koebley, President of Executive Women’s Council, said the group’s mission is to provide leadership and facilitate opportunities to increase political and economic power of women.

“Our online Women on Boards Database features the credentials of qualified women available for corporate and public board appointments,” she said. “We have been and continue to be contacted by organizations to provide candidates for board opportunities and have successfully placed a number of women on government boards. So, we’re hoping that once this is passed we can use that database to help facilitate finding women qualified for these roles.” Heather Arnet, CEO at Women and Girls Foundation of Southwest PA, said SR 255 is more than a “feel-good” or “diversity” resolution.

“This is a resolution which will improve the corporate performance of companies based in Pennsylvania and that’s something all Pennsylvanians should want,” Arnet said.

In addition to Executive Women’s Council, members of the American Association of University Women, PowerLink, the Forum of Executive Women and the Pennsylvania Federation of Democratic Women attended the press conference to support SR 255.

Finance Committee Report FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Finance Committee met via phone on Thursday, May 10th. In attendance were Roselyn Wilkinson (Treasurer), Diane Petronko, and Tara Simmons.

We discussed the following items:

1) Tara updated the committee on the mid-year financials and the committee reviewed, in detail, the following reports from July 2017 through March 2018: Profit and Loss Budget vs Actuals, Balance Sheet, Income Detail, Accounts Receivable Detail, and Payments on Pledges.

2) While Heather has done an outstanding job exceeding grant revenue goals for the first three quarters of this fiscal year, and Olivia is to be commended for the Wingmen contributions, we continue to have low revenue numbers in the individual donor, monthly sustainer, and board event income lines. Roselyn reminded us all of the board “give or get” policy which states that all board members shall donate and/or help raise $10K annually. She will be following up with individual board members to update everyone on their progress toward goals for this fiscal year. Board fundraising will also be the topic of discussion at our Board Retreat on June 28-29.

3) The committee reviewed proposals from five audit firms. We narrowed it down to two: McGee Maruca and Associates, a small woman-owned firm whose price was most competitive, and Sisterson, who is a larger but regional firm whose price was also competitive, with values that align with WGFs. We have questions for both firms; Tara will reach out to firms to get questions answered and check references. The committee will then review the results of Tara’s findings and select a new firm.

4) We are excited to learn that two of our new board members are interested in joining the Finance Committee!

Financials Financial Summary Narrative

July 2017 through March 2018 Overview

We ended Q3 of this fiscal year above goal for revenue and below goal for expenses. However, the revenue overage is due largely in part to Heather’s grant-raising efforts, which have been significant. Foundation and corporate grants are significantly above goal (193%), but this is primarily due to large grants pledged into next year.

Individual gifts, memberships, and board events remain quite low during this past quarter. While we are a little above goal for new individual donations, that is in some part due to pledges booked this year but payable next year. We’re at 35% of annual goal monthly sustainers and 32% of board special events income.

INCOME *Since the last board meeting, we have been approved for a 2-year grant for GirlGov from the Grable Foundation. The first $15,000 installment has been received. *The second of two $500,000 grant payments from the Hillman Foundation was received in May. * Nearly all pledges from individuals into this fiscal year have been received. * Through Community Engagement efforts, Olivia has helped to raise nearly $150,000 in new donations through the Wingmen, ArtAxis, and 100Women Who Care. * The second installment payment from the Opportunity Fund ($37,500) is expected before the end of June. * We have reapplied to PNC for June consideration for GirlGov. * And we have been awarded $15K from Family Values at work, which we expect to receive before the end of June, as well.

EXPENSES Expenses were approximately 44% under budget for the quarter, primarily due to the large marketing budget for Paid Leave which has been received but not yet spent, and for GirlGov, which incurs significant costs in June for the Graduation and Harrisburg trips. LOOKING AHEAD While our cash flow is steady, much of that cash is restricted to Femisphere and GirlGov. WGF’s administrative costs (staff like Tara, Olivia, and the admin, as well as things like rent, internet service, and insurances) are paid for by unrestricted donations from individuals. This is why it is imperative for us to meet all revenue goals, not just foundation and corporate goals. INCOME SUMMARY
