The Women’s Leadership Circle is a thriving philanthropic group of women leaders who support the mission and

services of Planned Parenthood, and who are committed to ensuring that women of future generations are

empowered to shape their own lives and futures. Circle members donate a minimum of $1,000 annually.

Dear Friend,

Thank you for your interest in Planned Parenthood’s Women’s Leadership Circle. The Women’s Leadership Circle was founded in 2012 in the midst of a series of national attacks from opponents of access to women’s health care. In response, a group of local supporters and Board members sought a way to rally our community behind Planned Parenthood.

What resulted was the Women’s Leadership Circle. Our group is diverse - in age, race, religion, and profession - but we all share a deep commitment to Planned Parenthood and to ensuring that the services that they provide remain available to future generations. We chose early on to decline anonymous gifts because it is only when we stand together proudly and publicly that we can advance the conversation about reproductive health care and sex education.

Members enjoy numerous benefits and events throughout the year, including educational events, membership celebrations featuring national leaders like Cecile Richards, and lobby days in Jefferson City, Missouri and Washington, DC. More details on the benefits of membership are enclosed.

If you share our commitment to ensuring the doors of opportunity remain open to women of future generations, we invite you to join us and the more than 270 other women from our community who have become members of the Women’s Leadership Circle.

Sincerely,

Shanti Parikh, PhD and Dana Sandweiss 2015 Co-Chairs, Women’s Leadership Circle

Now is the time to take a stance and let everyone know that you support Planned Parenthood. This Circle empowers, engages, and educates women from all classes, ages, races, parties, and backgrounds. I am proud to be able to support Planned Parenthood

both financially and as a volunteer, and I am proud to be a member of the Women’s Leadership Circle.”

KIM OLSON

“I support the Women’s Leadership Circle because it is critical for women to support other women, in order

to ensure that we continue to have access to the information and services that are essential to making an informed decision about health care and reproduction.

Being a member helps to keep me informed of the many challenges that women face today as we strive to maintain our health, care for our families, and be

productive contributors to our world.”

Member Since 2012

SHARALYN SAKS

“I remember college in the sixties—students marched and protested and had sex, but no one talked about

contraception. Birth control pills were available, but no ‘nice’ unmarried young woman could bear to ask her

doctor for them. I’m thankful that my daughters and son have Planned Parenthood here to ensure that they can

receive the basic resources and information that will allow them to make informed decisions on their

personal health and sexuality.”

Member Since 2012

EVENTSThe Women’s Leadership Circle hosts 4 events per year

including summer and winter educational forums, a spring luncheon, and a fall membership event.

Past guest speakers include:

Cecile Richards President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America

Judy DeSarno Director of Domestic Programs at the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation

Gloria Feldt Former President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America

CORI GARLAND

“In this political climate, rife with constant attacks on Planned Parenthood and access to basic reproductive healthcare, I cannot stand by silently and let others take

away basic human rights. I must publicly stand with Planned Parenthood and attest to its mission.

I am proud to say that I stand with Planned Parenthood. No Matter What.”

Member Since 2012

VIVIAN ZWICK

“I believe that the Women’s Leadership Circle is important to Planned Parenthood because it brings together a group of women who have made important decisions about their

own reproductive lives and who then can articulate our message to others.”

AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD, CARE IS MUCH MORE THAN

THE SERVICES WE PROVIDE; IT IS THE WAY WE APPROACH

OUR WORLD. WE CARE. DEEPLY. WITH RESPECT. WITHOUT

JUDGEMENT. WE ARE UNWAVERING IN OUR BELIEF THAT

PEOPLE DESERVE HIGH-QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE.

WE ARE TIRELESS IN OUR EFFORTS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION

AND INFORMATION SO PEOPLE CAN MAKE THEIR OWN HEALTH

DECISIONS. WE PROUDLY FIGHT FOR WOMEN TO BE ABLE TO

GET THE REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES THEY NEED. WE DO ALL

OF THIS BECAUSE WE CARE PASSIONATELY ABOUT HELPING

WOMEN, MEN, AND YOUNG PEOPLE LEAD HEALTHY LIVES.

NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE. NO MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE.

WE WILL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GET THEM THE CARE

THEY NEED. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE

TRULY CARED FOR, THEY WILL MAKE THEIR LIVES, THEIR

FAMILIES – AND EVEN THE WORLD – BETTER AND HEALTHIER.
