Legacy & Vision
A Circle of Influence
The Legacy & Vision Women’s Giving Circle is comprised of a powerful group of local civic and philanthropic women leaders who share a passion for investing in the community and actively making a difference in the lives of our community’s children.
Established in 2000 to support the vision of Alice Bemis Taylor and the legacy of her circle of influence, including Early Connections’ 13 other founding mothers, Legacy and Vision has contributed over $500,000 to ensure all children have access to high quality early care and education regardless of their family’s income. As a Legacy and Vision member, you provide children with the high quality early education necessary to provide them the best start in life; changing the trajectory of a child’s life forever.
