Profiles: Weaver and Laplante

Celebrating 20 years of women in Kiwanis

In 1987, Kiwanis opened it membership to women, and a new era began. Twenty years later, Kiwanis celebrates this anniversary by profiling some of our organization’s outstanding female members.

Some are active business or professional women, some are retired. Some have climbed the ladder of Kiwanis office, others have walked the walk of community service—and many have done both! Each was nominated by a fellow Kiwanian as an example of the talents and dedication women are bringing to Kiwanis.

Two new profiles of amazing Kiwanis women will be posted each week. The honorees are:

Pam Weaver, Kiwanis Club of Hilltop, Columbus, Ohio; Keeping an Eye on Kids’ Safety
Kathy Laplante, Kiwanis Club of Norway-Paris, Maine; Stepping Up for Kiwanis, Kids

Read these profiles and more each week to learn how women have left their mark on Kiwanis—and how Kiwanis has changed their lives too.
