Sojourner’s Truth Staff

For the 20th consecutive year, the YWCA of Northwest Ohio will recognize the achievements of a number of extraordinary women during the Milestones: A Tribute to Women awards. In a departure from custom, in honor of the anniversary, the awards event will be a dinner, rather than a luncheon, at the SeaGate Convention Center on Thursday, March 12 at 6:00 p.m.

This year’s honorees are: Carol Bintz – Arts; Sr. Mary Carol Gregory, SND – Education; Dr. Iman Mohamed – Sciences; Laneta Goings – Volunteerism; Sharon Speyer – Business; Judge Arlene Singer – Government and Barbara Petee – Social Services.

Carol Bintz has been chief operating officer at the Toledo Museum of Art since 1994. She has been responsible for making TMA a leader in green technology initiatives with solar, LED and micro-turbine generators. TMA is one of the greenest museums in the country.
