Dear Friends: Thank you for joining us: 2 Over a century ago, an extraordinary woman stepped forward to articulate a vision of a community that is united to create better opportunities for all. Today, we celebrate the vision of Frances Wisebart Jacobs at our 13th Annual Mile High United Way’s Women’s Leadership Luncheon; we are honored you have joined us. Mile High United Way’s Women’s Leadership Council, led by the phenomenal duo of Deb Smith and Pam Jeffords, continues to lead the way uniting people, ideas and resources to advance the common good. The women of Mile High United Way are community builders, leaders, unifiers and champions. They are connectors and resource brokers. They are mothers, daughters and sisters. They are volunteers and business leaders. They are the heart of this community. We invite you to join them. Today we are proud to celebrate an extraordinary woman who excels in all these roles. Neyeska Mut inspires us on a daily basis, and is the epitome of all that Frances Wisebart Jacobs believed in and aspired for women and for our community. Author Wes Moore paints a brilliant picture of what it means for a community to come together and of the role women play every day in shaping the destinies of all of us. We are honored to have Wes and his mother here in Denver. We are also so pleased to welcome Denver’s new mayor, Michael Hancock, and First Lady, Mary Louise Lee, whose own stories inspire us and remind us that indeed We Are All Denver. 124 years since our founding as the first United Way in the country, we are able to do our work and serve as a catalyst for social change because of all of you.
