Women: Builders of Communities and Dreams

This year's theme, Women: Builders of Communities and Dreams, honors the spirit of possibility and hope set in motion by generations of women in their creation of communities and their encouragement of dreams.

The theme honors women for bringing communities together and restoring hope in the face of impossible odds. Community comes in many forms, and dreams change, expand, and are sometimes fulfilled.

The 2006 Honorees represent women creating community and sustaining dreams in countless ways and in myriad venues.
