Goodman Community Center CEO/Executive Director Letesha Nelson.

press release: Goodman Community Center CEO Letesha Nelson will be joined by women leaders from nonprofit organizations around Madison to discuss the most pressing challenges our community faces and the many ways area residents and leaders can be part of the solution and do better.

Remember in grade school when your teacher would run through roll call every morning to make sure you showed up? Wouldn’t it be great if we had the same accountability as adults to not only show up but actively participate in making our community better?

In this chat, Letesha will be joined by five inspiring local leaders who, for years, have been stepping up and holding themselves responsible to do their part to make our community a better place.

Come hear from Letesha and these local leaders, and learn how you too can make a difference in our community!

Community Chat Guests:

• Alexis London, executive director of Bayview Foundation
• Sandy Morales, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Dane County
• Vanessa McDowell, CEO of YWCA of Madison
