About Us

Our Club has been recognized as GFWC Florida’s most outstanding club 11 times in our short 22 year history. We have accomplished this in no small part due to the remarkable legacy of our incredible club leaders and members. It’s truly amazing what we can accomplish when each of us does our small part. Together, we are a powerful force—and we have achieved so much.

After 9/11, GFWC donated a firetruck to New York City during my mother-in-law’s (Judy Lutz) administration. Our collective voices have influenced important legislation, and our impact continues to grow. In one year alone, our Club completed more than 1,200 projects and logged over 22,000 volunteer hours—just imagine the scale of our international impact. This is why we carefully track our hours, mileage, and in-kind contributions—they all add up to real, measurable impact and national influence.

Currently, GFWC is helping to establish the Women’s Suffrage National Monument on the National Mall —a fitting tribute to our long history of empowering women starting from our very inception. Our 2026 President’s Project, EmpowerHER: Women Uplifting Women, continues that legacy by strengthening our communities through projects that uplift and inspire women and girls.

While women make up 51% of the US population, we hold fewer than 25% of all elected offices. That’s why I’m so excited about our 2026–2028 Community Impact Program: ElectHer—a half-day, nonpartisan training for women interested in running for elected office, presented in collaboration with the North Pinellas League of Women Voters. ElectHer will help ensure that women not only have a voice, but also a seat at the table.

As we continue our community work in 2026, let’s build upon the proud history and strong foundation of GFWC North Pinellas Woman’s Club. Together, we have both the privilege and the power to make a lasting difference in our community.
