Estes Park is a community of strong, supportive, inspiring women.
In honor of International Women’s Day, the Estes Chamber of Commerce asked the Estes Park community to nominate their peers, colleagues, friends and family to be recognized as a woman of impact in the community.
The Chamber's goal is to recognize exemplary role models who have strong and powerful voices, display optimism and persistence and have a strong sense of self-confidence that they instill in others.
The honorees were celebrated at a community gathering at The Barrel.
“Women of impact connect, encourage, engage and enable positive change by inspiring actions that move our community forward,” said Colleen DePasquale, Executive Director of the Estes Chamber of Commerce. “They live their lives with passion and purpose, and embracing [sic] changes that innovate us for the future,” she finished.
