Our town’s history is rich with stories of resilience, innovation, and leadership, thanks to the myriad of women who are leaving marks on our society. From trailblazers in diversity and inclusion to leaders in business and the arts, their achievements not only inspire but also illuminate the path for future generations. Join us in paying tribute to these extraordinary women, whose strength and vision are enriching our cultural fabric and propelling our community forward.
