SIXTH ANNUAL WOMEN OF EXCELLENCE LUNCHEON AND HONOREES

In an overabundance of caution, it is with great sadness that we share that we have decided to further postpone the Sixth Annual WDAS Women of Excellence Luncheon to a to be determined date in Spring 2021. We will announce the new date next year.

The safety of our honorees, our staff, our partners, and our guests is of the upmost importance to us. Postponing the event to 2021 will allow us to truly honor and celebrate this year’s honorees, along with provide you with an afternoon of great entertainment and the experience of excellence that you deserve. We look forward to having you join us in 2021.
