The Women’s Executive Council is led by a dedicated board of accomplished professionals who share a deep commitment to advancing women and strengthening our Central Florida community. Drawing from diverse industries and leadership backgrounds, our board brings both strategic vision and a spirit of service to everything we do.

Rooted in the legacy established in 1972, today’s leadership continues to build upon a strong foundation of impact—guiding the organization’s programs, partnerships, and philanthropic efforts. From shaping signature events to expanding scholarship opportunities, the board plays a critical role in ensuring WEC remains a meaningful and forward-thinking organization.

Together, these women are not only leaders within WEC, but also changemakers within their respective fields—committed to fostering connection, empowering the next generation, and carrying our mission forward.
