United WE Donor Feature: Connie Loveless
“During my 35-year career, I was almost always surrounded by men,” said Connie Loveless, former board member and supporter of United WE. “The harried world of Finance and Investments- with its trading floors, wall street bankers and board rooms really didn’t invite many women into it.”
When Connie was first asked to join the United WE investment committee in the ‘90’s, then Women’s Foundation, Connie really didn’t know much about the mission, but came to love the work. “It brought us together to drive change for the betterment of all women. It was fun and challenging and allowed me to see real life issues facing so many women daily.”
Connie is proud to be a part of United WE. “I care about my daughter’s future and the future of our girls. United WE is making meaningful change for gender equity now and for future generations. From women being appointed to board and commissions to vital policy work, a lot of women don’t even know United WE is standing behind them.”
“A lot of women don’t even know United WE is standing behind them.”
Investing in United WE with a legacy gift means Connie is investing in the future of women. “I hope and pray that our past work will help to make a difference in the life of my own daughter, Molly, and in the lives of my friends’ daughters, whether they are aware of it or not. I continue to support United WE because I know the good work being done today will make a difference for all women and girls in generations to come.”
