"We have been pleased to sponsor the Woman of Achievement Luncheon for the last five years.  As a woman-owned firm, we want to celebrate extraordinary leadership by women in the non-profit world. And we want to be associated with the thousands of other women who, through their efforts, large and small, help the New York philanthropic community make the world a better place."   -- Kimberly Hawkins, Partner, Raybin Associates

"When a New York nonprofit needs something - a consultant, a new event venue, software - WID is the 'go to' place for advice and sources. I rely on the WID directory and website."  -- Aileen Hefferren, Chief Executive, Prep for Prep
