While the Dallas Women’s Foundation’s Leadership Awards Dinner presented by AT&T isn’t until Tuesday, May 9, the process is underway to select the recipients of the 2017 Maura Women Helping Women Award and the Young Leader Award.
Originally, the deadline for nominations was Friday, January 6.
Yipes! Folks who have been away for the holidays just realized that January 6 is less than a handful of days away. To accommodate those procrastinators, DWF President/CEO Roslyn Dawson extended the deadline to Monday, January 9. Whew!
BTW, the dinner is being co-chaired by Cheryl Alston and Laura V. Estrada, with the presidential-appointed National Women’s Business Council Chair Carla Harris as the keynote speaker.
While you’re thinking about whom to nominate, remember the Maura honors “courageous individuals who have catalyzed change for women and girls in North Texas.” Established in 2013, the Young Leader Award “recognizes breakthrough leadership exhibited by a woman under the age of 40 who is achieving success in a field, initiative or sector, and creating a path of opportunity for other women to follow.”
So, scratch that adorable head, think of an outstanding gal, download the form and who knows? You may be the source for the 2017 Maura and/or Young Leader.
