I was honored to be one of the nominees for the Girl Scouts of Citrus 2016 Woman of Distinction Award. The gala event was impressive and the dinner delicious. The MC began announcing the winners and as I was munching on the cookie for dessert, I nearly choked when she called out my name as the winner in the Visionary and Courage category.
I was humbled beyond words with gratitude because the award holds these criteria:
The Visionary Award recognizes the woman with a courageous spirit, imagination, insight and boldness. She is an agent of change who sees the big picture and thinks of others first. She inspires people to achieve higher goals by modeling a clear vision, empowering relationships and supporting innovative actions.
