Women of Achievement Awards Dinner 2011

Legal Momentum, the women’s legal defense and education fund, was proud to honor four outstanding women at our sixth annual Women of Achievement Awards Dinner on March 10, 2011 at the Intercontinental San Francisco. The Women of Achievement Award salutes the accomplishments of extraordinary women who have broken through to the top of their profession.

Each year, we celebrate the achievements of inspiring women, including a leader in public service. This year, for the first time since the Women of Achievement Awards Dinner began in 2005, Legal Momentum introduced the Men of Distinction Award, given to men who have demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing the rights of women.

The 2011 Women of Achievement and Men of Distinction honorees included:

Hilary Krane, Vice President and General Counsel, Nike Inc
