Women Work! Welcomes New Staff
The Women Work! national office in Washington, DC has welcomed several new faces, is soon to welcome several more, and is proud to have a few familiar faces move into new roles within the organization.
JoAnne Lyons Wooten joined Women Work! as the Interim CEO in August. With over thirty years experience in human resources and financial management, JoAnne has and will continue to provide excellent support and leadership during her time with Women Work!.
Tiffany Boiman will join the organization as Director of Programs and Policy beginning September 15th. Tiffany has worked with the Government Accountability Office as well as the National Governors Association, and her policy experience will be an enormous asset.
Vrae McNeil will become Women Work!'s new Office Manager on September 23rd. Vrae has been part of non-profit adminstrative managment in the DC area for some time, most recently with the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington.
Helen Luryi joined Women Work! as Public Policy Fellow in 2007, and has made significant contributions to the Public Policy Department over the past year. That experience, and Helen's commitment to women's issues, now informs her work as Women Work!'s Public Policy Manager - a role she assumed last month.
Sarah Rose-Jensen has been invaluable to the Women Work! staff over the last two years, first as Staff Assistant then Administrative and Development Manager. Sarah recently accepted the position of Membership and Field Services Manager and has already begun working with state affiliates across the country to build their capacity and expand their membership.

Promote Yourself
Online
It is now vital that an organization have an online presence. The wealth of information
and images on an organization's website may impact its fundraising,
membership, and outreach, not to mention its opportunities with
foundations.
Professionals in digital marketing and nonprofit-technology
suggest a several things when creating a website or other online presence:
- Accountability
- Publish any ratings or
awards that the organization has received
- Outline the projects or programs that the
donations go toward
- Provide testimonies from donors,
already-supporting foundations, and even the media about the effectiveness of the organization
- Present a detailed description of the structure of your finances
- Do not overload donors or prospective supporters
with communication
It is better to connect on a personal and one-on-one basis, but, when
using online communications, too many messages may give an organization a desperate and
negative image.
Please direct all questions to the
Development Doctor at thodnett@womenwork.org. If you have any specific
web sites or resources that you use to raise funds, let the Doctor know.
Good prescriptions for financial health should be shared!
