United WE Donor Feature: Kristin Wing
Women supporting women. That was the driving force for Kristin Wing to join the United WE Board of Directors nearly 25 years ago. “We were a group of women sitting around a table, looking for ways to make sustainable change and bring value to our community.”
Kristin, along with many other passionate women who have served on our board of directors and committees, gave United WE the strong foundation that has guided the organizations’ evolution throughout the years. “United WE validates what women are seeing and experiences in the workplace and community. It finds barriers to tackle and provides data driven solutions to impact women and families.”
When reflecting on her time as a United WE board member, Kristin said, “I remember going to Washington D.C. as one of a few representatives of the board of directors many years ago. We were there to share our research and resources and bring attention to gender equity; to give a voice to women that did not have one. It was exciting to watch the light bulbs go off for those we talked with. We were a sisterhood of change and I am proud that our work continues for the next generation of women.”
With over three decades of experience in public accounting, she continues to make volunteerism and financial investments a priority. Along with supporting United WE, Kristin has also been involved with Madam President Camp and the Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault (MOCSA).
“I am going to make it my life’s work to point to United WE as a role model for other organizations supporting women and girls!”
As a United WE Changemaker and Trailblazer, (you read that right, she’s both!), Kristin feels United WE is a tremendous financial steward of her donations. “Every dollar is carefully considered and treasured. It is a smart and wise investment and women need to support women. I am going to make it my life’s work to point to United WE as a role model for other organizations supporting women and girls!” says Kristin.
