Robben Richards,
member

Owner of Worthwhile on King Street and a member of Women Making a Difference since its inception, Robben recently sponsored memberships for four young women whom she employs.

"I have an employee at Worthwhile, Elisa Young, who moved to the area from New York City last November," says Richards. "It occurred to me that a membership in Women Making a Difference would be the perfect way for her to network and make friends. I decided to underwrite Elisa's membership as an extension of the group's philosophy: women helping women."

Richards went on to underwrite memberships for Joy Ribisi, a five-year employee of Worthwhile; Erica Landford, the Richards' long-time nanny; and Carissa Sutherland, another caregiver for Richards' children.
