Important Information about the 2010 Luncheon

Dear Friends of Leading Women of Greater Cincinnati,

We have had a 15 year history of honoring and celebrating the unsung heroes of our community. Over 260 women have been honored and 30 scholarships awarded to those deserving and contributing members of our region. We have raised $12,000 for a fund within the Women’s Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.

In 2009 and 2010, our people, businesses and sponsors are forging ahead in a struggling economy. Not a day goes by I don’t receive an e-mail or telephone call about a friend or co-worker that has been “restructured” out of their current employer. Now, the U.S. has over a 10% unemployment rate.

Leading Women of Greater Cincinnati’s Steering Committee has made a dramatic decision to acknowledge the limited funding available in our region, which should go to those that need food, clothing, shelter and health needs, and postpone our next honoree luncheon until March 2011.

We hope you will continue to be a supporter of Leading Women of Greater Cincinnati. This time will also give us the opportunity to update our mailing and contact lists, recruit new committee members and reconnect with our honorees and awardees. Please keep checking our website for updates. You now have a year to decide who you would like to nominate in any of the 22 categories! Please know how much we value your partnership and plan to reconnect in 2010 as we plan for 2011!

Thank you so very much.

Sincerely,

De J. Heggem, President
