Our local Chapter’s very own talented and accomplished president-elect has achieved yet another distinction; Jane Moore, Chief Operating Officer for the United Way of Greater Toledo was awarded the YWCA’s Milestone Award for outstanding achievement and contribution in Social Services at the annual luncheon on March 29th. 

Jane has been active in the social services for more than 30 years, and chief among her achievements is her work with the United Way, the organization she now leads.  She has been a driving force behind the local United Way’s commitment to inclusion and diversity by creating diversity committees which include volunteers from different ethnic and cultural groups. During her years overseeing the United Way’s community impact work, Moore has been responsible for staff and volunteers, allocating more than $170 million to local programs which benefit families in this community.

Jane received her BA in Education from the University of Kansas and her Masters of Public Administration from the University of Toledo.  She has been married to her husband, Charlie a retired Toledo Police Officer, for 30 years. She has three stepchildren and four grandchildren.

Established in 1996, the Milestones Awards honor women from Northwest Ohio for outstanding leadership qualities who, through their efforts and accomplishments, have opened doors for other women to achieve their potential.  Candidates are awarded in six areas: Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Government, Social Services and Volunteerism.  Criteria for selection include unique, exemplary achievements in her field, serving as a role model for women in the community, and a life consistent with the YWCA mission.
