WOMEN OF INFLUENCE
Women of Influence was founded in 2021 by Wendy Anger under the banner of Life of Faith Church. It is a volunteer-managed program with a focus on women-centric enterprises and serving others. The aim of Women of Influence is to be a beacon of hope, influence, and support for women in business in the Birmingham Community and surrounding areas.
Each year, Women of Influence hosts a one-day conference in the Birmingham area. Since its inception, the Women of Influence Annual Business Summit has reached more than 250 attendees and provided a $1000 scholarship each year to a female college student, to further their business education. During the Summit, women learn skills to better help manage their life, learn skills to maintain a healthy physical body, and learn skills to build a meaningful support system. This is accomplished through rich connections, a wealth of resources, and educational workshops.
ENCOURAGING OTHERS
As women, we face the challenge of wanting to give every part of ourselves to what is important to us – our families, work, community – but too often we lose strength before we have made an impact in any of it. But I believe that every aspect of a woman’s life can be strengthened, honed, sharpened, and knit together, creating a dynamic individual who can make a radical change in their sphere of influence. It was this ambitious prospect that led me to create the Women of Influence Business Summit.

To leave a legacy for the next generation. To lead a more meaningful life. To give back to the community. To change the world in positive ways. Whatever the dream, we are here to champion them forward!
