Four local organizations dedicated to serving women in the workplace have formed an alliance to more efficiently serve their clients.

OneKC for Women joins the Women’s Employment Network, Kansas Women’s Business Center, Women’s Capital Connection and First Step Fund to streamline services and reduce redundancies among the four organizations.

“By creating the alliance, women anywhere in the metropolitan area will understand that if you touch any one of us, we’re going to provide you with all of those options,” said Sherry Turner, president of the Women’s Employment Network.

Services offered for women in the Kansas City area will range from resume-writing tips for the unemployed to business-loan assistance.Turner said she and Vanessa Finley, executive director of First Step Fund, will lead the efforts to organize the alliance for the next three or four months. She said she hopes to create an Internet portal within the next month.
