Mary Williams-Stover joined our team this week as Assistant Director, just in time to mark today’s official abbreviation of our agency name from Council for Women/Domestic Violence Commission to the broader Council for Women (CFW). With this change, we renew our pledge to provide oversight and monitoring of grant-funded non-profits statewide that assist women in being safe and successful.
Articulate and familiar with issues affecting North Carolina women, Williams-Stover comes to us from Triangle United Way, where she was senior vice president for strategic initiatives and sponsorships. She also brings experience in working directly with non-profits and their boards from her tenure at both the Triangle office and United Way of America, based in Alexandria, Va.
A resident of Cary and mother of two teenage children, Williams-Stover’s duties will include managing CFW’s five regional directors, who in turn oversee grant-funded programs and related reporting. She also will work on developing a strategic plan and brand marketing aimed at increasing awareness of CFW as a statewide resource for women.
