Marketing Team:  Our chapter is gifted with 7 individuals with skills in PR, advertising and marketing. They help with our chapter's marketing role and also help some with specific tasks helping market WCE overall. 

In 2007, WCE's local chapter was recognized as one of the best small charities in the Washington area by the Catalogue for Philanthropy. This "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" is a signal to prospective donors that WCE pursues its mission in a transparent and efficient manner. We were pleased to receive this designation, and we believe it's a vote of confidence that can make our fundraising efforts more successful as we continue to seek assistance.
