Changing Lives Throughout the year, Women's Executive Council (WEC) raises money for Women's Executive Council's
Scholarship & Endowment Fund through corporate sponsors and direct
donations. These funds provide scholarships to women attending Valencia
Community College, University of Central Florida, Rollins College and
Seminole State College of Florida. Our scholarships have provided a turning point in the lives of the many young women we have embraced. Through our financial support, we have encouraged their personal growth, self-improvement, professional development and leadership skills.
Since 1987, the Women's Executive Council has awarded $118,600 in scholarship funds to women in Central Florida.
In addition, WEC extends our mission and community outreach to several
not-for-profit organizations with annual contributions to assist in
funding special projects to help better serve their mission and
community.
For the past two years, WEC gave back $17,500 to the community in the form of scholarships and annual contributions.

Brief History
The Women's Executive Council was
founded by the late Dot Estes Ellis in 1972 to involve executive and
professional women working in the downtown Orlando area with the
Downtown Orlando Partnership. Our organization worked closely with local
architectural firms in updating and beautifying downtown Orlando, the
City Beautiful. WEC planted trees along Orange Avenue and Jackson Street
and painted trash cans lining sidewalks of the Downtown area. Our new
logo reflects our roots in the Orlando community.
