Lauderhill Regional Chamber of Commerce, President, Sharon McLennon, is ecstatic about this year's honorees. "This year's theme of "I Am" is powerful. So often in life, we let others define us and rob us of our strength. By defining themselves, these phenomenal women claim their power and serve as an example for all of us. These doors become unlocked by telling our story and fulfilling our potential," said President McLennon. "I hope that everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to meet these incredible women and attend the Awards Breakfast. Please purchase your tickets early as this event is sold out every year," she stated.
