UPCOMING ACTIVITIES
2026 WCC Annual Meeting:
Turning Purpose into Progress
Woman’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati (WCC) invites you to our Annual Meeting on Tuesday, June 16, from 6 pm to 8 pm. Held at the Walnut Hills Branch Library, 2533 Kemper Lane, the event will begin at 6 pm with a potluck supper provided by the board of trustees. Join fellow members and friends for an inspiring program that highlights where we’ve been, where we’re going, and how each of us plays a role in moving important work forward.
With a long-standing commitment to education, engagement, and advocacy, WCC continues to translate meaningful conversations into real-world impact. Turning Purpose into Progress reflects our belief that informed individuals, working together, can drive lasting change. Our featured speaker will be Eric Russo, Executive Director of the Hillside Trust, an organization marking 50 years of preserving and protecting the natural landscape of our region. With early support from the Woman’s City Club, Hillside Trust embodies what it means to turn purpose into sustained progress.
WCC had a role in founding the Hillside Trust in 1976, holding a series of workshops on the need to manage preservation and development of Cincinnati’s hillsides. In 1991, WCC published A Hillside Protection Strategy for Greater Cincinnati, which later became codified into Cincinnati’s zoning code in the form of Environmental Quality districts. The Hillside Trust is a compelling example of how commitment and collaboration can lead to meaningful, long-term impact.
The meeting will include presentation of the club’s accomplishments of the past year, welcoming new members, swearing in of trustees, amending the bylaws, and discussing issues our members would like WCC to address through our programs and advocacy. Attendance is free and open to all, but an RSVP is requested at the link below or by email at wcc@womanscityclub.org.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM

Thank you to everyone who joined us on May 2 for the 2026 Agnes B. Seasongood Luncheon. It was a truly special afternoon celebrating women’s leadership, civic engagement, and the transformative power of education in our community.
We are grateful to our members, guests, sponsors, donors, and volunteers whose support made this signature event such a success. A special thank you to our featured speaker, Yvonne DiCristoforo, recently retired Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Secret Service Field Office in Cincinnati, for sharing her remarkable journey and insights—an inspiring reminder of the impact of service and leadership.
We are especially proud to congratulate this year’s six Marian A. Spencer Education Award recipients. These outstanding young women exemplify academic achievement, leadership, and a deep commitment to their communities:
Ava Dattilo – William Mason High School
Martha Garcia – Hamilton High School
Grace Phillips – Colerain High School
Tazara Prophett – Walnut Hills High School
Isabella Sammut – Madeira High School
Emori Witmer-Gautsch – William Mason High School
Each recipient was awarded $1,500 to support their continued education, and we look forward to following their bright futures.
