Communities need champions who understand their problems, see their potential, and will offer solutions that will make a difference. Change is only possible when there is a vast and organized network of dedicated community members in McLean County that lift up proven strategies and bring them to life.

By joining WOMEN UNITED, you’ll become part of a community of like-minded women who contribute their personal passions, inspired ideas, and unique strengths to the mission of building stronger communities.
