We set the stage by reading the Women of Vision Day Proclamation, a fitting tribute to these everyday women, your neighbors and friends...women who are COLORADO PROUD!  

The focus of the evening is to honor twelve women of our community who are truly "Women of Vision:" These women have demonstrated visionary approaches in their professional and volunteer endeavors and have made a contribution to the well-being and empowerment of women locally, nationally, and internationally.
