The 46th Annual Outstanding Mother Awards will honor four influential leaders across beauty, retail, business and medicine on May 9 at The Pierre Hotel in New York.
Hosted once again by mistress of ceremonies Joanna Coles, this year’s honorees are Nyakio Grieco, co-founder, Thirteen Lune and founder of Relevant; Debbi Hartley-Triesch, executive vice president, general merchandise manager, accessories, beauty and home at Nordstrom; Dr. Dendy Engelman, board certified dermatologic surgeon; Shafer Clinic Fifth Avenue; and Hannah Bronfman, activist, author, creator and founder of Pres10 Ventures.
“We look forward to recognizing our incredible honorees for their contributions as mothers, leaders, and role models in their communities while raising funds for the important work being done by this year’s charity partners,” said Nance Hastings, chairman of the National Mother’s Day Committee. “Our organization has long recognized women who have dedicated their lives to balancing the commitments of family life and careers with grace, and we are excited to welcome four more Outstanding Mothers to our ranks.”
Proceeds from this year’s luncheon will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, a mentoring network that develops positive relationships that have a lasting impact on the lives of young people, and Boys Hope Girls Hope New York, which provides personalized academic support and wraparound services to break the cycle of poverty and empower young scholars.
