Women's Council

 

mission

To continue the Ignatian tradition of being "men and women" for others by being philanthropic leaders for the benefit of current Saint Ignatius students, participating in and leading events to serve and enhance the larger community and providing opportunities for the Ignatius family to connect together in a meaningful way. 

membership

All women in the Saint Ignatius community-- including alumni, current and past parents and friends-- are invited to become active members and participate in council events and committees. The Council consists of four committees: Signature Event, Networking, Community Service, and Philanthropic. Participation on any committee is welcomed and encouraged.

Basic membership in the Women’s Council requires no financial contribution, however, membership in the council’s Philanthropic Circle is encouraged. Membership requires a gift of $250 or more to the school in support of the council’s current philanthropic appeal.  Click here for a current list of the members of the 2009-2010 Philanthropic Circle.
