Clark College President Dr. R. Wayne Branch (seen in the photos above) welcomed guests to the event and presented certificates to Clark students Daniel Borgen and Marissa Katter for writing the biographies of the honorees.
Dr.
Branch then introduced Clark College Board of Trustees President Sue
Fratt, seen in the photo on the left, who spoke about the history
and significance of the Women of Achievement Celebration, which began
in 1985 as a tea to commemorate National Women�s History Month and
International Women�s Day in March.
She closed her remarks by offering this wish and challenge for the audience: "I hope you are able to do something you are passionate about every day." |
