Welcome to Cardea Center for Women, bringing together a network of people and groups working for women’s equity and sharing a common goal of promoting women’s development from across the Silicon Valley region.

As 2010 dawns, we are struck by what an amazing year 2009 was! You helped us articulate the CCW’s vision and joined us in demonstrating concrete ways to help women during this critical period. Throughout the year we formed partnerships and collaborations with several other non-profits and government agencies as well as individual women and men which we will continue to foster. And because of your support, our growth has been steady, consistent, and meaningful.

In 2010, we hope to expand the depth and breadth of our work. We will focus on leveraging the Center’s limited resources to provide, referrals, resources and support to a wide variety of women. Our immediate plans include hosting an International Women’s Day celebration this spring and other special events designed to strengthen our goals of valuing women's voices, vision, leadership, and contributions.

We look forward to your continued attendance and contributions to propel the Center’s activities forward in 2010. Your generous donations will be a source of encouragement to all of us as we work to create a special space for women in Silicon Valley. A volunteer board and supporters serve CCW. If you're interested in serving in any capacity or sending us your thoughts, comments, and ideas , please let us know by contacting us at info@cardeacenterforwomen.org.

We look forward to working with you in this New Year.
Lata Patil and the Cardea Board of Directors
