Giving back to the community is what makes a difference. Thank you to one of our Chamber members, AEP Ohio, for continuing to invest in and support organizations making an impact across our region! 👏
✨ BIG NEWS for the inspiHER Girls Leadership Foundation! ✨
We are beyond excited and grateful to announce that inspiHER has been awarded a $10,000 grant from AEP Ohio! 💜⚡️
A heartfelt thank you to AEP Ohio for believing in our mission and investing in girls across Appalachian Ohio. Your support will help us continue building confidence, leadership, resilience, and opportunity for the next generation.
Special thanks to Melissa Clark and Brandy Marshall of AEP for your continued encouragement and support over the years. We are so appreciative of your belief in what inspiHER is doing throughout our region.
What made this moment even more meaningful was that the check presentation took place at The Ale House 1890. — the very location where we held our FIRST inspiHER meeting back in 2018. 💫
From one small meeting with a big dream… to now celebrating our FIFTH year of retreats and leadership programming across Appalachian Ohio. It was truly a special night and a full-circle moment for our organization.
Our goal is to continue expanding into additional counties and regions across Appalachian Ohio so we can impact even more girls through leadership and mentorship opportunities.
The check was presented by Brandy Marshall of AEP Ohio and accepted by Jodi Ranegar, Founder of inspiHER Girls Leadership Foundation, alongside Jennifer Blackstone, inspiHER Board President, and Jen Sherman, inspiHER Board Member.
AEP Ohio — thank you for helping make this possible and for helping power the future of young female leaders across Appalachia. ⚡️💜
