Members and guests are invited to join Women United for our next Interviews With Inspiring Women breakfast event, featuring Elle Hale on Thursday, May 16, at the Wyndham Garden York. The program runs from 7:30 am - 9:00 am and includes breakfast.

Originally from Philly (home of the best pretzels and cheese steaks), Elle moved to York County by way of Baltimore over 20 years ago. She was a stay-at-home mom to her now-teen daughter and hopped over into real estate in 2013 for a change of pace.

Elle spends her time volunteering in her local community, as well as the state and local Realtor® associations. She has chaired various committees, served as a Board member for several years and was the 2022 Board President for RAYAC (first Black woman), and helps out at local community events whenever possible. Elle is invested in her community and career, taking her role as a community member and leader seriously. As a new Owner/Broker of one of the few (and possibly only) Black Woman Owned Real Estate Brokerages in York County, Elle is breaking down barriers and leading the way for a better home-buying experience. 

Help us support #yorkreads initiatives in York County!

Women United strives to build a stronger community by promoting literacy and lifelong learning. We currently support six Little Free Libraries, in York City, Red Lion, and Dover. The libraries are just one of United Way of York County's #yorkreads initiatives, which offer additional outlets to distribute age-appropriate books to children and families who may not otherwise have access, and to encourage reading in the home.
