The Emerald Awards: Unleash Your Inner G.I.R.L. honors women in Palm Beach County who exemplify leadership and serve as role models for young women in our community. Four awards will be given to women who embody the characteristics of today’s G. I. R. L. – Go Getter, Innovator, Risk Taker, and Leader.
An Emerald Awards Honoree is recognized
as a woman who brings new ideas to life, demonstrates creative problem
solving, and brings innovation to her field of expertise or community.
She has positive values, a strong sense of self, seeks challenges,
learns from setbacks, and is not afraid to shatter the ‘glass
ceiling.’ She recognizes the potential for leadership in every girl,
inspires those around her to take action, and drives change in her
community.
In addition, a Lifetime Achievement Award
for Philanthropy will be given to a woman who demonstrates
outstanding civic and charitable support. The Lifetime Achievement
Award will highlight a woman whose generosity is evident through the
considerable personal time and financial support she dedicates to
programs and organizations that contribute to the well-being of our
community. She embodies the spirit of giving in all aspects of her
personal and professional life and strives to leave a legacy of
philanthropy for future generations.
