COMING TOGETHER FOR IMPACT

Leaders and members from all chapters of the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago Auxiliary gathered for a powerful and inspiring evening with CEO Heidi Ortolaza-Alvear to discuss the evolving needs of the IWS Family Health Center and how this group of women across the Chicago suburbs can work together to best support the families served. The evening fostered meaningful conversation, shared vision, and collaboration, and reminded everyone that when chapters unite, the collective impact grows stronger. From identifying key priorities to brainstorming creative partnerships, the energy in the room reflected a shared commitment to providing compassionate care and essential services to Chicago’s most vulnerable communities. Surrounded by laughter, learning, and connection, the evening reaffirmed the mission at the heart of the Infant Welfare Society Auxiliary; coming together to make a difference. A bonus treat was the reveal of the New York, New York theme for the Hinsdale Chapter’s Tablescapes luncheon, which will be held at the Marriott Burr Ridge on March 22, 2026. hinsdaleiws.com
