This month we will discuss both IMPACT INVESTING AND PHILANTHROPY. We
will have several folks from the investing community discuss new
opportunities with Next Wave Impact, Social Venture Circle, and the
Women's Investor Network with Rockies Venture Club. On the
philanthropy side, our guest speaker is Liz Wolfson, Chief visionary
officer and founder, GALS Inc. Join us for some delicious food and
wine and an inspiring discussion!
Liz Wolfson created the vision for the Girls Athletic Leadership
Schools Inc. 2008. She raised over half a million dollars in angel
funding, developed the strategic plan and moved to Colorado to open
the flagship schools in Denver. Due to Liz’s leadership, GALS is the
first Colorado home-grown educational network to expand beyond the
state’s border, as GALS Los Angeles opened in 2016, and GALS Idaho
is set to open in 2020. Liz has spent the bulk of her career working
for CEO’s and Philanthropists in manifesting their visions and
starting up corporate and philanthropic projects locally, nationally
and internationally. Former non-profit clients include the Institute
for International Sport, The American Montessori Society, The Rose
Institute (for homeless youth) and a former Prime Minister of the
State of Israel. Former corporate work includes creating the first
global communications division for Comverse, a world leader in voice
activated systems, and raising seed-funding for TaskMail, the first
Jordanian/Israeli high tech start-up company. Liz received her
undergraduate degree from Brown University and earned her masters
Degree at the Hebrew Union College. Liz believes her passion for
comprehensive health in schools stems from her upbringing in the world
of competitive athletics where she competed in Division I Field
Hockey. Liz considers herself a force in organizational behavior and
Whole-Bodied leadership.

Women & Impact Series
Each month we host an event to bring together women who are interested
in creating positive impact in our community and our world. We often
have two speakers that highlight various opportunities for investing,
philanthropy or volunteering. We always have plenty of time for
networking and learning about impact opportunities from our network.
Join us for an evening with great food, wine, and discussions with
other like minded women who are looking to create positive change with
their time, money, and expertise.
This Women & Impact series is sponsored by the BSW Wealth Partners,
Social Venture Circle, and the Next Wave Foundation, so you may
register for the event by donating just one dollar. However, donations
of any size are always appreciated and will go towards our impact
initiatives in US, Africa, Latin America, and Asia through the Next
Wave Network and the Next Wave Foundation. Anything above $20 is tax
deductible. Thank you for your support!
