Description
This edition of NewsMakers goes to the annual Arlington VA Women of Vision Awards sponsored by the Arlington County Commission on the Status of Women. Awards were given in the areas of Business, Non-profit and Government.
B
The
Commission
on
the
status
of
women
is
a
group
of
volunteers
who
are
interested
in
making
sure
that
the
voices
of
women
are
present
in
our
community
in
lots
of
different
ways.
So,
every
year
in
March,
they
use
a
process
to
choose
some
people
who
have
done
exceptional
work,
sometimes
a
single
exceptional
project,
sometimes
years
and
years
of
work,
and
we
have
four
pretty
awesome.
Winners
tonight
that
we're
going
to
be
honoring
prior.
D
Basically,
the
same
lessons
that
learned
overseas
or
the
same
lessons
that
I
still
apply
every
day
working
for
the
county,
listen
to
people,
build
relationships,
trust
people
encourage
them
to
share
ideas,
ask
them
to
question
the
way
things
are
done,
take
risks
and
adopt
new
practices,
and
so
using
that
kind
of
approach,
which
is
really
what
I
did
in
paraguay
listening
to
women.
Why
did
they
live
their
lives?
The
way
they
did?
What
new
things
that
they
want
to
do?
How
could
we
work
together
is
the
same
thing
that
I
do
in.
E
The
county
and-
and
it
really
has
been
such
a
wonderful
experience
for
me-
and
it's
such
an
honor,
to
be
representing
those
people
who
were
most
vulnerable
in
our
community
and
I-
think
that
it
was
really
an
eye-opener
for
everyone
who
participated
in
100
homes
campaign
and
particularly
a
J,
was
actually
on
my
team
and
went
out
at
three
thirty
and
four
in
the
morning
and
merry
Heinz.
And
it
really
is
amazing
because
they
are
invisible
and
so
I
feel
I
feel
honored
to
make
them
visible
to
everyone
in
our
community.
As
I.
F
I
recognized
that
working
women
are
facing
unique
challenges
because
we
have
still
not
let
go
of
all
of
the
family
responsibilities
and
all
the
nurturing
that
we
give
to
our
communities,
religious
institutions
and
whatever.
But
now
we
have
this
whole
wonderful
world
of
work
where
we're
having
to
compete,
and
sometimes
we're
not
able
to
do
that.
But.
G
I
get
sort
of
sources
of
inspiration
from
all
over
the
place
in
this
one
I
got
today.
So
I
was
going
to
read
this
to
you,
but
I.
Don't
normally
do
prop.
Okay
seek
new
horizons
once
upon
a
time
we
believed
the
world
was
flat
that,
beyond
a
certain
point,
there
would
be
nowhere
to
go
and
though
we
all
know
now,
the
world
is
round,
we
still
fear
falling
off
imaginary
edges
too
often
thinking
there's
only
so
far.
We
can
stretch
the
most
dangerous
limits
are
those
in
our
own
head.
