After 17 years of dedicated service on the Board of the Women’s Housing Company, including 11 years as Chair, Alice Spizzo has stepped down, leaving behind a legacy of impactful leadership, transformation, and heartfelt commitment.

Stay tuned – we look forward to introducing our new Chair, Carmen Osborne, very soon.
