Women of Wheaton
Starting in 2021, the Community Relations Commission compiled a range of profiles of women (past and present) so the community can get to know some of the incredible women in our town. For 2025, the Women of Wheaton theme is focused on women who work in a leadership role at Wheaton’s many not-for-profit organizations.
