EVENT DETAILS

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our 25th Annual Women of Distinction virtual event presented by Memorial Healthcare System a huge success! We were able to raise over $86,000 and acknowledge the excellence of our 13 honorees who are making a difference in South Florida.
 

Women of Distinction honors and celebrates women leaders in South Florida chosen by the community and selected by an esteemed committee of past recipients and distinguished women leaders with a complement of events that culminate with a grand luncheon. This legacy event has honored over 240 women innovators, influencers, philanthropists, and entrepreneurs that have effected change in the community and beyond. Women of Distinction is a platform to honor women leaders and a networking opportunity to connect with leaders throughout South Florida.
