#67 - Katherine Harris & Margaret Wise, Co-Founders of Women In Philanthropy

This week, Sarasota SpeaX is honored to welcome two distinguished guests who have not only made it their mission to be involved with philanthropic efforts but are hosting an Inaugural Soirée to honor 12 women in the Sarasota area who have also created a legacy in giving back to their community and beyond.   When Katherine Harris and Margaret Wise first moved to Sarasota, they become instant friends, and would embark on a mission that would ultimately lead to Women In Philanthropy.The mission for Women in Philanthropy is:“To honor the indelible legacy of exceptional Women Philanthropists, past and present, whose virtues of integrity, compassion, humility, and kindness have perennially enriched our community’s fabric for decades. From these exemplars, we aspire to motivate and engage new generations in virtuous and intentional community enrichment and philanthropy.” On this episode, Katherine and Margaret share their personal stories, and why the giving of your ‘Time, Talent & Treasure’ is critical for the betterment of the community, and the overall society as a whole.  They are hosting a Soiree on November 9, 2024.  The evening will be filled with entertainment, but most importantly, will honor the legacies to 12 exceptional women who have been extremely generous over the years in their mission of giving.You can learn more about Katherine and Margaret’s organization, Women In Philanthropy by visiting: https://womeninphilanthropyofsarasota.comFor a full list of the 12 Honorees for the evening of November 9:https://womeninphilanthropyofsarasota.com/meet-our-honoreesWe invite you to also follow Women In Philanthropy on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/womeninphilanthropysrqOf course, we bring the conversation back to Sarasota, learning about their love for the community and its people.  Naturally, we get their opinions on Roundabouts, and put Katherine and Margaret through the Rapid Fire Gauntlet.We would like to thank the following ladies for their commitment to Women In Philanthropy, along with their coordination in getting Katherine and Margaret on the Podcast: - Margaret Wise & Katherine Harris - Women In Philanthropy Founders - Tatyana Stewart – Creative Director - Dayle Hoffmann – Communications Director************************Sarasota SpeaX is a hyper-local podcast that will feature the incredible entrepreneurs, leaders and personalities that make Sarasota, and the greater surrounding area, tick.
