WCP Good Friend Gail Torreano Moves On

Friday, June 05, 2009 @ 4:19 PM

AT&T's Gail Torreano has been one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Women's Caring Program and the ChildCare Commitment initiative since the very early days.   She is moving on to a new senior vice president post with AT&T in Dallas.    Gail will be missed here in Michigan.

In addition to corporate support of the Twilight Gathering for years, Gail stepped up in a big way personally last year.   She, and another passionate supporter of our mission--Debbie Dingell of General Motors, co-hosted a luncheon for foundations and corporate supporters of WCP at the Detroit Athletic Club.  Gail spoke so eloquently from her heart about the importance of women helping women that it made quite an impression on all the people in the room.

Frankly, the entire region will miss her.  Gail is a past chairwoman of the Detroit Regional Chamber’s board, and serves on the boards of Detroit Renaissance Inc. and the Detroit Medical Center. She is current chairwoman of Central Michigan University’s board of trustees and of the United Way of Southeast Michigan's education council.

Best wishes Gail on your new responsibilities.   You'll always have a place in our hearts here at the WCP.
