The WCC 17th Annual Giraffe Awards
January 7, 2012
Dear Women’s Chamber Members, Friends and Business Associates,
For the past 16 years, we have honored women in Palm Beach County at our Annual Giraffe Awards in celebration of Women’s History Month. We carry the torch again for our 17th year! Please “Save the Date” for this year’s awards ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, March 28, 2012, at the Kravis Center’s Cohen Pavilion.
When we began this tradition, the ‘Giraffe’ was chosen to represent women who have “Stuck Their Necks Out“. They take risks; apply initiative, show dedication and perseverance therefore making a real difference to other women in the work place and in the community.
Our featured speaker is Dominique McClain-Barteet, CEO of Onesole/Founder, an innovative Palm Beach County company she created for elegant shoes with interchangeable tops, which from 2007 to 2010 had $20 million in revenues. Dominique had been interviewed by Diane Sawyer, as one of America’s best new companies. May of 2011 she appeared on ABC’s “Shark Tank” and won the venture capital investment. Her story will inspire and motivate you!
We are including information on our 17th Annual Giraffe Awards for several reasons, but most importantly… Do you know a woman in our PBC community who has stuck her neck out to help other women? Please nominate her for this prestigious award! Attached is the Nomination Form that you can download from our website at www.womenschamber.biz and forward to other outstanding women in your circle. The deadline for nominations is 3:00 PM February 15, 2012. Visit: http://www.womenschamber.biz/GiraffeAwards2012
