What does it look like to build with purpose from the very beginning?

In the latest issue of WCCD Monthly, Shirley Boubert-Rumble shares her journey from early work in housing to leading Usource Construction.

It’s a story rooted in vision, care, and long-term commitment to community.

In recent weeks, multiple Black women have been killed in acts of violence across the country.

We take a moment to acknowledge their lives and say their names.

These tragedies reflect a broader pattern that continues to impact Black women and our communities.

To the Black women in our community, we are holding you in care.

If you or someone you love is experiencing violence or abuse, support is available.

Across our region, communities are navigating complex challenges across housing, economic mobility, and equitable development, and meeting this moment requires leadership that can turn vision into action.

On May 11, we’re convening women elected leaders who are not only shaping policy, but ensuring it delivers meaningful outcomes for the communities they serve. Join us for an evening with leaders doing this work in real time across the region.

We’ll get into how power, proximity, and policy come together to drive real impact.

Our latest member letter from WCCD Director Donna Gambrell reflects on legacy, sisterhood, and the women whose strength made space for ours.
In it, she shares a story about her grandmother and the power of women supporting one another across generations.

WCCD is built on stories like these.

If you have a reflection, experience, or perspective you’d like to share with our community, we’d love to hear from you. Members are always welcome to contribute to the Member Letter.
