The selection process is rigorous and selective, considering factors like professional achievements, leadership qualities, and community impact. Nominees undergo interviews that gauge their passion, resilience, and commitment to excellence. “I never ever imagined that I could coach football, because there was no one who looked like me. Football was the first place in the world where somebody told me that girls and boys did different things. I distinctly remember being told girls don't do that.” - Dr. Jen Welter Her messages on Authentic Leadership and Diversity as Strength have resonated at prestigious venues such as the the United State of Women (USOW), Central Mass Conference for Women, and MGM Grand.
