The DEC Network at Redbird hosted the Black Women in Philanthropy 2024 event that brought together Black women philanthropists from across the DFW Metroplex.
 

Presented by the Reconciliation and Restoration Foundation, the event gathered iconic Black women in non-profit leadership to discuss furthering their roles in philanthropy.
 

Attendees included leaders from various organizations who shared their experiences and strategies for making a meaningful impact in their communities.
 

The event featured panel discussions kicked off by Dr. Froswa Booker-Drew and included Tiffanie Rice of Comerica Bank, Dominique Bryant-Howell of The Chris Howell Foundation, and Martine Phillippe of the City of Dallas Office of Arts & Culture Department.

​

“We are encouraging the organizations that we serve to diversify their boards. It’s important to us to see the representation at the board level because we know the trickle-down impact is going to give positive benefits who are in the minority as well,” said Phillippe.

​

“We want to continue to build bridges from the city offices to the community so we always take advantage of these opportunities to have one-on-one or group discussions for folks that gets the opportunity to engage with us directly and ask the questions that maybe they haven’t had a chance to ask.”
