Inspired by a need to gather together and celebrate women, three Estevan community members will chair the event this year, under a new name and with an updated vision: The Southeast Women of Distinction Awards Luncheon. In 2023, women continue to achieve success in their fields, overcome barriers, and juggle the many responsibilities of life. The vision of the organizing committee is to amplify the accomplishments of women in the 5 award categories, in their workplace and in the community, through leadership, hard work or the perseverance to overcome obstacles to success. Profits from the event will be donated to two streams: programming for children living with disabilities, and breakfast cupboards at elementary schools in the region. These have been the core recipients of fundraising efforts in the past.
