2020 WOMEN OF DISTINCTION PROGRAM Each year since 2011, the MAC has honored seven local women who have been boundless in business, civic engagement and philanthropic programs by demonstrating excellence, growth, grit and empathy. The honorees this year were Christine Candio, former FACHE President and CEO of St. Luke’s Hospital; Theresa Carrington, CEO of Ten by Three, international speaker, author and mentor; Kate Ewing, director of strategic business development and marketing at Sandberg Phoenix; Mary Elizabeth Grimes, president of Marian Middle School; Genny Jessee, executive director of the June Jessee Memorial Foundation; Katy Vu, Senior VP, CFO of Bunzl; and Rising Star Katie Shields, head
women’s soccer coach at Saint Louis University. In 2020, MAC continued the tradition, albeit with a new spin. To help with social distancing and capacity regulations, the Women's Initiative Group decided to host a hybrid event, with many attendees viewing the event online, while honorees and their guests attended the event in person. On Friday, Oct. 9, all attendees heard each of the awardee's stories as well as a question and answer portion moderated by WIG chairperson, Jodi Petersen. Despite the challenges of hosting this event online and in-person, attendees from both complimented the Club on this year's production.
