 We take a moment to honor the late Dr. Joan King (speaker, coach, author and 2010 International Woman of Vision Honoree)  and play her inspiration video to open the event.

leann gray LeAnn Thieman (Hall of Fame Speaker, author, nurse and 2011 Woman of Courage Honoree) will set the stage for us to honor these everyday women, your neighbors and friends...who didn't say "Someone should do something" but instead said, "I am going to do something!" 

 

 

 

The focus of the evening is to honor twelve women of our community who are truly "Women of Vision:" These women have demonstrated visionary approaches in their professional and volunteer endeavors and have made a contribution to the well-being and empowerment of women locally, nationally, and internationally. They have enriched the lives of others with their courage, intelligence, talent and - of course - vision. They inspire us all through their innovation and leadership.
