This year we recognized and were inspired by twelve influential and prominent Italian American women at the four annual Epiphany events in each NOIAW Region. Honorees told of how their culture and heritage consciously impacted and influenced their professional lives. Thank you so much to all the Wise Women honorees, NOIAW members and friends who made the events so successful. As always, we appreciate your support. Browse through our photos from each event below.
