The Lois Kwasman Program for Community Impact was established in 2004 in memory of EWPB Board Member Lois Cohn Kwasman. Lois touched the lives of all those who knew her with her quiet manner, steely determination, and infectious sense of humor. She showed us how to succeed in the competitive field of media and communications, and how to turn our compassion for those less fortunate into action. 

This program provides EWPB with an avenue for making an impact in our community through grants designed to support efforts that are intended to provide for the underserved, needy, or less fortunate persons in our society and efforts designed to make a community impact.
