Greenwich YWCA Announces Brava Award Winners
Greenwich Time
By Ken Borsuk
Thursday, December 28, 2017
GREENWICH — YWCA Greenwich has announced the winners of the 41st annual Brava Award that honors women who are committed to philanthropy and community service.
Keeping with its core mission of empowering women and girls, the organization has chosen nine women to acknowledge at its 11:30 a.m. Jan. 19 luncheon at the Hyatt Regency in Old Greenwich.
“The Brava honorees demonstrate a special combination of outstanding professional accomplishment, mentoring others, especially women, and caring for the community,” Greenwich YWCA President and CEO Mary Lee Kiernan said. “This is a powerful way to empower women and we seek to highlight these accomplishments and inspire others to take a similar path.”
The Brava Awards were first held in 1977. Proceeds from the luncheon and awards ceremony will support YWCA Greenwich’s women’s leadership and development seminars and services.
The 2018 honorees are: Amy Siebert, the town’s commissioner of public works; Lucy Ball, executive director of the Lone Pine Foundation in Greenwich; Deborah Hodys, vice president and general counsel for Greenwich Hospital and the deputy general counsel for Yale New Haven Health System;
Catherine Polisi Jones, president and founder of Polisi Jones Communications; Betsy O’Reilly, president and founder of QuadJobs, which helps college students get jobs; Karen Ress, vice president and general manager for the Tea Brands division of Nestlé Waters North America, and Kara Underwood, a managing director for Morgan Stanley.
Alice Knapp, president of the Ferguson Library in Stamford, and Bismruta Misra, medical director of the Diabetes and Endocrine Center of Stamford Hospital, will also be honored.
In 2018, YWCA Greenwich will also be giving out special awards to the Next Generations Brava Honorees Rene LaPointe Jameson and Cassandra Marcussen, both of whom are seniors at Greenwich High School. Joan Mockler, director of communications and racial justice at YWCA Greenwich, said both girls are already making a big difference in the community.
Kiernan said the Next Generation awards are being added to empower younger women and highlight their accomplishments.
“These two young honorees demonstrate the same outstanding leadership and caring for others,” Kiernan said. “We also thought the veteran honorees would provide inspiration to the younger honorees, but when we introduced everyone at a November reception, the inspiration was clearly mutual.”
Marcussen is being recognized for founding several clubs at GHS including its Girls Who Code club and the Greenwich Public Schools Programming Outreach, which is made up of volunteers who go to the town’s elementary schools to teach the essentials of computer programming to younger students.
Jameson was cited for her work creating the GHS community garden which has received a highly competitive grant from HerLead, a partnership between Ann Inc., the parent company of Ann Taylor Loft and Lou and Grey, and Vital Voices Global Partnership, which provides leadership training and mentorship to the young women leaders. Jameson also has been named a Global Face and a Compassionate Young Leader You Should Get to Know by The Jane Goodall Institute and on Jan. 31 will introduce a screening of a documentary about Goodall at the Avon Theater in Stamford.
Jameson is also on the youth board for Abilis, a Greenwich based non-profit which assists people with developmental disabilities and their families.
“We hope that by recognizing the contributions of the next generation of leaders, we will encourage other young women to strive to be the very best in whatever field they choose,” Kiernan said.
