Win-win for Philanthropies Too!

Win Wednesdays
An important aspect of the WIN’s networking component is WIN Wednesdays. Gatherings are held the fourth Wednesday of every month in different areas. Local members and visiting members can stop by and connect with other colleagues working in the industry and enjoy food, fun and camaraderie. Interested in becoming a WIN member?
