The 2009 Giraffe Awards Celebration

During the month of March, the WCC celebrates Women’s History Month at a dinner where we pay homage to the women of  Palm Beach County who have "stuck their necks out" to make this a better place for us to work, live, and raise our families.

These outstanding women are leaders in our communities who have been nominated by their students, colleagues, protégés and mentors.

They are mothers, daughters, sisters and grandmothers.  They are role models for us as well as for our daughters.  In honoring these phenomenal women, we are also honoring ourselves and our potential.  They are the reminder of everything we can do and achieve.  For this we thank them.
