About

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style"

-Maya Angelou

At The Table (ATT) was founded on July 25, 2017, with a focus on enhancing the lives of women and girls in the Columbus Metropolitan area through health awareness, domestic violence awareness, mentorship, and educational resources. Our Executive Board consists of six (6) talented members, community-focused decision-makers who serve diligently in making positive impacts in the lives of women, girls, and the community. They represent entrepreneurs, mentors, teachers, and volunteers who work towards collaborating with community leaders, agencies, and individuals to establish partnerships to expand the missions and goals of At The Table.​
