In 2012, when Melissa Effron Hayek took over as director of the Women & Philanthropy program at the University of California at Los Angeles, she focused on revamping the decades-old program to beef up membership and more effectively engage women.
Now, a main goal of the program is to identify leadership opportunities for women within the program and across the campus, says Ms. Effron Hayek. This instills loyalty and strengthens the ties between female donors and the organization.
The rebooted program also provides valuable networking events and exclusive opportunities to connect accomplished women who have ties to the university, whether as professors, researchers, deans, or donors. Plus, the program strives to connect young members with more experienced mentors who want to help motivate and inspire the next generation of women philanthropists.
