Our Vision is to advance positive change in the lives of women, their families and the community, one woman at a time. 0 0 795381 35307 30024 In 1986, two Kansas City philanthropists and visionaries, Beth K. Smith and Marjorie Powell Allen, had a profound idea of how to "help women help themselves" and they worked to form the Women's Employment Network (WEN). With the involvement and support of hundreds of volunteers, donors, and dedicated staff, WEN has grown from a single classroom at Pioneer College to a 10,000 square foot facility in the heart of downtown Kansas City. Over the last thirty-four years, WEN has continued to work toward the mission and vision of its founders and has played an important role in the professional growth of women in Kansas City. At no cost to the women served, WEN has graduated hundreds of women from its programs while assisting thousands more through support services and community referrals. In the 2020-2021 program year, WEN served: 1,240 total clients, 825 of those being new clients. Women with a wide variety of backgrounds turn to WEN. Due to the ever-changing nature of economic forces, more and more women walk through our doors with significant work experience and who have achieved higher levels of education. As the demographics of our clients shift, our experienced program staff make the necessary adjustments to meet their needs. However, the primary focus of WEN's programming continues to be un- and under- employed women who are experiencing poverty. WEN receives referrals from area domestic violence shelters, therapists and counselors, community service and referral partners, and word-of-mouth recommendations. WEN has also recently experienced an increase in women who find out about WEN through social media and internet searches. Our Clients: 72% of clients are single or divorced, 54% of clients reside in Jackson County, 73% of clients are below the Federal Poverty Level.. In 2020-2021 WEN had the following program outcomes: $16.36 average hourly full-time wage reported (WEN's goal is $12.75). In 2020-2021 WEN had the following financial coaching outcomes: 189 financial clients, 37 coaching clients improved credit score, 20 coaching clients decreased their outstanding collections. WEN's face to face programing was interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WEN was able to successfully transition to a virtual format, as the current health crisis affects women across our community, we know that they need us now more than ever. 0 0 0 WEN on the Road: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, WEN on the Road was halted. As All services were converted from in-person to digital and partner organizations were invited to participate in workshops that were also open to the general public. Close partner organizations continue to use the virtual workshops for their clients and staff. As in-person attendance is reintroduced, WEN on the Road will potentially resume. 0 0 0 795381 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 0 1 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 19 19 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X X Sherry Turner 8168228083 4328 Madison Avenue Kansas City MO 64111 Sherry Turner President and CEO 40 0 X 151828 0 18690 Kimberly Jones Chair 0.75 0 X X 0 0 0 Stacey Paine Vice Chair 0.75 0 X X 0 0 0 Janice Blansit Secretary 0.75 0 X X 0 0 0 Jen Regas Treasurer 0.75 0 X X 0 0 0 Anab Abdulai Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Aviva Ajmera Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Cathy Baier Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Kelly Eschweiler Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Sonia Garapaty Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Shanee Kimber Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Nicole Miller Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Arlene Mockapetris Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Julie Pine Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Jahna Riley Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Rachel Smith Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Cyndi Swall Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Toni Walsh Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Megan Whitman Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 151828 0 18690 1 0 1 0 0 9753 0 469688 0 114191 773837 25000 1367469 Women's Business Center Fee 561000 30024 30024 0 0 0 0 0 0 30024 21229 0 0 21229 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 170182 0 153906 0 16276 0 16276 16276 0 0 451 469688 6022 -5571 0 -5571 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1429427 46300 0 15658 0 0 35307 35307 0 0 0 0 167347 117143 33469 16735 0 0 0 0 371447 303754 0 67693 0 0 0 0 46508 37943 152 8413 37220 29178 2138 5904 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 20220 0 20220 0 0 0 0 0 0 5921 0 5921 0 67121 67121 0 0 9630 4953 0 4677 29608 17918 6094 5596 9226 8303 923 0 0 0 0 0 196610 157288 19661 19661 1015 0 1015 0 0 0 0 0 3218 827 1573 818 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7877 6301 788 788 10060 8048 1006 1006 Donor Relationship 2149 0 0 2149 Data Management 1200 1200 0 0 PY Receivable Adjustment 14156 0 14156 0 3371 97 3274 0 1039211 795381 110390 133440 258683 467314 13191 13201 105615 85193 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 38338 37526 44779 35766 16138 9013 536767 678740 0 0 0 0 0 0 9241 0 977973 1290987 31373 35395 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 114191 0 60152 205716 35395 X 699757 1196592 72500 59000 772257 1255592 977973 1290987 X 390216 93117 0 0 0 2 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 952087 1218451 888584 1115620 1364769 5539511 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 952087 1218451 888584 1115620 1364769 5539511 758604 4780907 8443 10426 18332 16248 21229 74678 0 5130 0 0 0 5130 0 201 428 0 0 629 5619948 315297 0.85070 0.83860 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 2017: Prior period expense checks voided; 2018: Refund on previous period insurance policy.
