Meet Our Members

A motorcycle engine is comprised of many different and unique parts. It takes a collaborative unit to power change.

We’re a diverse group of caring women who possess a wide range of talents, backgrounds and professions. Though each of us bring value to the organization in our own way, everyone involved exhibits one common trait—dedication.
