Meet the Membership Committee

The Membership Working Committee is responsible to develop and implement the plan for recruiting and stewarding WGSD prospects and members. Strategies include: Network outreach (via member connections), arm and cold outreach (referrals, proactive identification) and high touch. Ongoing dialogue/suggestions with the other committees for member engagement, the goal being member retention.

Katy Goshtasbi, Founder, Puris Image. In a nutshell- I own a personal branding company where I work with business owners on refining their personal brands so they can stand out and increase revenues and self-confidence. I used to be a lawyer!

Amy Harmon is the Director of Development for the College of Education at San Diego State University. She loves being on the Membership Committee because she knows how important each member's financial contribution is towards creating positive change for women and girls in San Diego.

Megan Lim. I'm involved in several organizations concerning education, women's issues, politics and the environment. Without fail, the unique diversity of the members of Women Give San Diego regularly result in insightful and educational conversations. The discussions and women involved are inspiring and it's the joy that I find in being part of this community that made me join the Membership Committee. Megan Lim is the Development Director at the San Diego Public Library Foundation.

Anita Broughton, REA, EIT, CIH. So far, I’ve had a 28-year career in the environmental engineering and consulting field, and am a scientist, manager, and part-owner of Haley & Aldrich, Inc., mostly focused on the redevelopment of contaminated industrial properties. In my spare time, I manage a local volunteer resource website, angelbeing.com, and joined the WGSD Membership Committee to meet like-minded women and to learn more about our non-profit community.
