Interviews With Inspiring Women: Elaine Bonneau

Join us in February for Interviews With Inspiring Women featuring Elaine Bonneau!  Admission is free.

Elaine Bonneau is an accomplished marketing and communications professional with 25 years of experience building and implementing comprehensive communication strategies. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Elaine moved to the area to attend college and started her career in marketing at an ad agency in downtown Baltimore.

She started a marketing/business development consultancy working with both national and local companies, government agencies and nonprofit organizations. This consultancy grew into what is now Bonneau & Associates.

We encourage everyone who attends to donate a book for United Way of York County's #yorkreads program.

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 two Little Free Libraries, at the Bob Hoffman Branch of the YMCA of York and York County in Dover, and at Golden Connections Community Center in Red Lion. 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 encoruage reading in the home.
In honor of Read Across America Women United held a weeklong book drive March 1-7, 2021, to benefit our Little Free Libraries and United Way of York County's #yorkreads initiatives. Thanks to drop-off sites at United Way of York County, Print-O-Stat, First Capital Federal Credit Union, Brown's Orchards, and CGA Law Firm, our community donated 2,326 books for all ages! Thank you!!
Still want to support these efforts? Check out the #yorkreads Wish List and make a purchase through Amazon.
