Women in Philanthropy and Leadership for Coastal Carolina University has announced the Inspiring Women honorees for 2012. The awards will be presented at the Celebration of Inspiring Women on March 20 in Myrtle Beach.
The 2012 recipients include: Dr. Jeanne Fourrier, dentist, philanthropist, humanitarian; Patricia Harris, global chief diversity officer, McDonald's Corporation LLC; Darley Newman, host, creator, writer and producer of the Emmy-winning PBS series "Equitrekking;" Anne Worsham Richardson, artist, naturalist, lecturer; Brig. Gen. Velma Richardson, U.S. Army retired, business development principal of Information Systems and Global Services; and Inez Tenenbaum, chairman of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
"In reviewing the names chosen by the nominations committee, I am confident they have selected a group of women who have demonstrated visionary leadership, determination, success and are a source of great inspiration,” said Terri DeCenzo, executive director for WIPL. “They have made a difference in many lives – not only within our community, but in the world. I look forward to sharing their stories and celebrating their impact."
The Inspiring Women Awards were created as a lasting way to recognize the achievements of women who were born in South Carolina or who have adopted the Palmetto State as their home. The awards pay tribute to outstanding women for their contributions to our state, nation and world. Honorees reflect a diverse group of women from the arts, business, medicine, media, philanthropy and public service.
The Celebration of Inspiring Women will be presented at the Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel. The program follows the annual Women's Leadership Conference set for March 19 and 20, also in Myrtle Beach. Registration is now open, and tickets may be purchased online at www.WIPLConference.com or by calling 843-349-5033.
Proceeds from the event support educating and empowering girls and women to become leaders of change through CCU college scholarships and leadership initiatives.
