Our 17th annual Women United Luncheon brought together more than 600 of Central Florida’s most dynamic women leaders for a day of networking, inspiration, and a celebration of our collective strength.

ALICE households are some of the most susceptible to increasing costs of living. ALICE®, an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, represents the growing number of individuals and families who are technically above the federal poverty line but still struggle to make ends meet. These families are working but are unable to afford the basic necessities of housing, childcare, food, transportation, healthcare, and technology.
