2025-2026 ANNUAL REPORT RELEASED
WCC Focused on Turning Purpose into Progress
More than 55 members and guests gathered on June 16 at the Walnut Hills Branch Library for Woman's City Club's Annual Meeting, an evening filled with fellowship, reflection, and inspiration. Attendees enjoyed a delicious potluck supper prepared by the Board of Trustees before reviewing the accomplishments of the past year, welcoming new members, swearing in trustees, and discussing priorities for the year ahead.
A highlight of the evening was a presentation by Eric Russo, Executive Director of the Hillside Trust, who shared the organization's remarkable 50-year history and its roots in the advocacy efforts of Woman's City Club. His remarks served as a powerful reminder of how informed citizens working together can create lasting change in our community.
The theme of this year's meeting, Turning Purpose into Progress, was reflected throughout the evening as members celebrated the Club's continued commitment to education, engagement, and advocacy. We are pleased to share the 2025–2026 Annual Report, which highlights the programs, initiatives, accomplishments, and impact made possible through the dedication of our members and supporters. We invite you to explore the report and join us as we continue transforming purpose into progress throughout Greater Cincinnati.
