It’s a brand new year and we at W.O.M.E.N. are very excited with the way it has dawned for us so far.
Drum roll please…
The Nashville Business Journal (NBJ) has named our very own Catherine Wyatt-Morley as a finalist in the 2014 Nashville Women of Influence Awards, under the category of Non Profit Leader.
The Women of Influence Awards program, now in its eighth year, is the vehicle by which the NBJ, through a rigorous nomination and elimination process, recognizes and features powerful, influential and outstanding women leaders under ten categories. The list is impressive, to say the least. Therefore, winning aside, the mere fact that Catherine has been nominated is indeed a prestigious honor.
