Leadership

A passion for transforming lives

The Women’s Philanthropy Leadership Council (WPLC) is composed of extraordinary volunteers who are committed to furthering the Indiana University Foundation’s mission—and maximizing collective impact on our IU communities.

We spent much of the last decade building our program—what could the next one produce if we spend it expanding our vision?

Laurie Burns McRobbie, Founder of Women’s Philanthropy at IU and IU First Lady Emerita
