Stephanie Stevens

Westfield’s executive director of its YWCA was a guest at the White House on Thursday.

Stephanie Stevens was invited to the White House alongside other members of YWCAs of New York State to participate in Communities In Action: Building a Better New York. The Biden-Harris administration created the Communities In Action series to give every state a platform to address its unique needs and priorities. The agenda for Building a Better New York will include discussions on infrastructure, clean energy, and healthcare costs.

YWCA Westfield and YWCAs of New York State are unified through their mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. The associations’ policy priorities for this half-day session will include health, economic, safety, and racial justice initiatives.

“This is an amazing opportunity for the women of New York,” said Stevens. “I am honored to be an advocate for our community among the most influential decision-makers in our country.”
