Voices United held their monthly meeting on Oct. 7 at the home of Jane Thompson. This event was our annual IGNITE fundraiser. IGNITE is a national organization whose goal is to help women move into leadership positions in government, business, and in their community. IGNITE channels young women’s passion into leadership as candidates, policy makers, commissioners, campaign operatives, and community organizers.
At the meeting we met Whitney Thomas, Geo Ordonez, and Isabella Fuentes, three amazing, inspiring ladies.
Whitney Thomas is an advocate for civic engagement and is committed to building a future generation of leaders. She serves the community in several volunteer roles.
Geovanie (Geo) Ordonez is the Donor Engagement Manager at IGNITE. She has over five years of fundraising experience grounded in ethical storytelling. As a proud Latina, she has leveraged her knowledge as power for transformative change.
Isabella Fuentes is from Venezuela. She is IGNITE’s North Texas Fellow and undergraduate student at the University of North Texas pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in political science. She served as historian of IGNITE’s College Chapter at Collin College before becoming president in the Spring of 2022. As a president, she encourages students to engage in their communities.
We immensely enjoyed meeting with the young ladies. They have been beneficiaries of the IGNITE program, and we feel proud to have held fundraisers for them.
