On May 3, 2007, the Women and Families Center is once again holding the Women in Leadership Benefit Luncheon honoring seven women of Meriden, Middlesex County and Greater New Haven for their contributions to the community and to their personal fields of expertise. This year's winners are Linda Berger-Spivack (Meriden), Jeanne Cooper (Hamden), Shyamala Raman (Saint Joseph College), Winnie Standish (Middletown), Suzanne Visciglia (Greater New Haven), Dorsey Kendrick (New Haven), and the Chamber's own Rosanne Ford (Meriden). The awardees represent a variety of disciplines.

We are also pleased to announce that the Connecticut Woman in Leadership of 2007 is Rebecca Lobo, recipient of numerous basketball honors for her collegiate and professional career.
