Every year we come together to celebrate exceptional women in our community. Tomorrow, Thursday, March 24th, we praise the community organizers, activists, educators, entrepreneurs, entertainers and health care professionals who are raising up our community.

And, while we're highlighting these exceptional leaders, we know that there are many women in our community who deserve recognition.

This month - and all year long - we honor our sheroes! Congratulations to the honorees of this year's Women of Distinction Award.
