Whittier Afternoon Holiday Tea and Talk 2024 Events Gallery

Our annual Women for Whittier Holiday Tea and Talk was a success. Thanks to our Presenting Sponsors – Elaine Ullian, Eversource Energy and Vertex Pharmaceuticals and all event sponsors listed below. We were inspired by our 2024 Women for Whittier Champions Alicia Wedderburn, Elaine Ullian, Enna Jimenez, Shirley Leung and Theresa Hopkins-Staten, Esq. and our Keynote Speaker Goldie Taylor. We are grateful to the members of our Women for Whittier who have supported our programs to address health equity, social issues and the economic gaps that impact the health of vulnerable women and children since the inception of this program in 2009! All of them deserve recognition as accomplished women leaders who have succeeded in their long-range goals and for their great contributions to the communities they serve.

We are grateful for their positive impact on the lives of members of our communities, many of whom do not have a forum nor a voice that is heard nor a place at the decision-making table. It is so important to have moments like our annual Women for Whittier Holiday Afternoon Tea and Talk event where we can come together to celebrate the achievements of women, while also addressing equity and equality issues. We recognize the barriers women, especially women of color, face when striving for a level playing field and will aid where we can in striking those barriers down.
