Independent Women’s Network Launches Central Pennsylvania Chapter
LANCASTER, P.A. — Independent Women’s Network (IWN), the national grassroots community activist arm of Independent Women’s Voice, celebrates the launch of its Central Pennsylvania Chapter. This chapter joins 27 chapters around the country and an online community of more than 26,000 IWN members.
The Chapter Leader is Wendy Voulopos. Voulopos is a Sales and Leadership professional who led complex projects for several of the largest Global Technology Outsourcing firms, while working with the top three Global Advisory firms over the past 16 years. Recently retired, she is on the advisory board of Petzey (telehealth for Pets), and open to mentoring recent graduates and serving on additional boards.
Voulopos said “As a high school athlete, and the mother of an accomplished collage swimmer, it was Riley Gaines who inspired me to join IWN. Once I joined IWN, I realized many more important areas of focus that IWN engages in to drive critical legislation. The insights and information IWN provides has been instrumental in helping me speak on these women’s issues at my local school board and to our elected officials. I love the action center and how easy IWN makes it to have my voice heard to our lawmakers and key influencers.”
Wendy’s interest in IWN started when she engaged with her local school board to keep girls sports and spaces dedicated to girls. She was an athlete and her son was an accomplished state level swimmer. The work that Independent Women’s Forum Ambassador Riley Gaines has done to save women’s sports, inspired Wendy to join IWN, and she was delighted to see the depth of the organization and the breadth of women’s issues that IWN engages in.
IWN was created to build a supportive community for women and to give them the tools they need to make a positive difference in their neighborhoods and our country.
“We heard from thousands of women from across the country who said they wanted a community where they could connect, share ideas, and take action,” said IWN’s Carrie Lukas. “We launched the Independent Women’s Network to stand shoulder to shoulder with women who are ready to turn our economy around and fight to save our freedoms by countering the woke mob and standing up to cancel culture and out-of-touch bureaucrats.”
An engaging and growing community of independently-minded women work together to advance shared principles through chapter gatherings and the IWN online movement. Membership to IWN opens access to message boards, curated news, smart content, a resource center, exclusive events, and an action center.
“IWN members are happy warriors who stand up to bullies – bullies with positions in school boards; bullies on social media; bullies in corporations and in politics,” said IWN Director Julie Gunlock. “We support one another, and our members are not alone when they stand up to lead on issues critical to our country.”
Members of the community who are interested in joining Independent Women’s Network should email IWN Membership Director Jenny Avis ([email protected]) or visit iwnetwork.com for more information.
