What it reported doing in 2025
Women in Leadership Awards - An annual celebration of women in leadership in Palm Beach County occurs each spring. Women in the private sector, public sector and the nonprofit sector are honored along with an emerging female leader. The luncheon is an inspirational event with a keynote speaker and serves as a vehicle for outreach to all business sectors of the community. Nominations are gathered from the business community, they are vetted, and an honoree is selected for each category. Proceeds are used to support programs for members and the community plus support scholarship and grant programs. Two contributions were received in December 2025 for the April 2026 WILA Luncheon. A $25,000 donation was received to establish the Rebecca Doane Scholarship Fund. Rebecca Doane was named Honorary Chair for 2026 WILA. $1,500 from the Jane Long Foundation was received to underwrite centerpieces for the 2026 WILA. Both of these donations were classified as deferred revenue.
