accomplishments of Rhode Island women who make a difference
in our community -- how women accomplish, encourage,
legislate, live, and love.
"I'm so blessed to be able
to share the stories of so many 'Amazing Women' who
make a difference every day. It's inspirational to learn
how many women contribute to this state in terms of
economic, educa-
tional, professional, and social achievements. You'll
hear the stories of the women you recognize, but also
the stories of the unsung heroes who don't always make
the headlines."
