100 Who Care Alliance About Us - 100 Who are Alliance
The 100 Who Care Alliance was started as a volunteer effort by four 100 Who Care chapter heads that wanted to create a format for sharing ideas and learning from the best practices of other 100 Who Care chapters. As chapter heads, we all have to address similar issues and challenges within our giving circles. We recognized that since we are in such diverse geographical locations, most of us can’t meet other chapter heads face to face and often, we don’t even know about each other. Towards that end, the Alliance was created to connect us, the 100 Who Care Chapter Leaders.
