Awards Dinner 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Our favorite quote from last year’s dinner - “That was fun!” Chris Hamilton, Shutts & Bowen.
We aim to have all of our guests repeat this quote for themselves at the 2019 Annual Awards Dinner. It will be a high-energy evening planned to inspire, motivate, and empower. Hear from one of Florida’s leading woman, Alex Sink, clap along as our International Person of the Year receives her award, and congratulate our two university scholarship winners. There is something for everyone at this Dinner. The best part – you will be there!
