Layman, CEO Center for Child Counseling; Private Sector – Bridget Berry, Shareholder, Greenberg Traurig; Public Sector – Dorothy Jacks, Palm Beach County property appraiser; and Emerging Leader – Lauren Whetstone, Shareholder, Greenberg Traurig.

The Women in Leadership Awards is one of the Executive Women of the Palm Beaches Foundation’s signature fundraisers and one of the county’s most successful community events. Since 1983, the event has raised over $850,000 to support young women in Palm Beach County pursuing dreams of a college education and to support girls and women in need in the community through community impact grants.

Proceeds from the WILA luncheon provide scholarships to young women in Palm Beach County.
