Why the Patricia Hart Society was established…
United Way of Williamson County recognized that local women have the desire to become engaged and involved in promoting philanthropy, mentorship, volunteerism and advocacy. Through the development of the Patricia Hart Society, United Way seeks to provide an opportunity for members to learn about the health and human service needs in Williamson County and provide members with hands-on experience in addressing these needs.

Our vision is to create an opportunity for women to take a leadership role in positively impacting the community. Williamson County resident and active community volunteer, Patricia Hart agreed to lend her name to this endeavor because of her strong belief in United Way and as she puts it, “because extraordinary things happen when women come together.”

There are three focus areas to the Women’s Initiative:
Events - Plan and host special events with the Patricia Hart Society to aupport United Way partner agencies.
Membership - Develop membership recruitment materials. Plan and host membership functions. Recruit Patricia Hart Society members. Create annual membership directory.
Volunteer/Project Management - Coordinate Patricia Hart Society members with service projects and communicate opportunities for involvement in United Way volunteer projects.
