Boots and Pearls - Women of Distinction Awards Honoring Hope Blackley-Logan and Elaine Smith

First launched in 2012, the Boots and Pearls Women of Distinction Event is a recognition and fundraising dinner that celebrates and honors outstanding women in the Spartanburg area for their professional accomplishments, service to others, and impact on their community. Each year the Girl Scouts of South Carolina - Mountains to Midlands call upon the public to help identify women who exemplify excellence both through their professional achievements as well as their community volunteerism. Honorees are chosen based on four criteria: professional/community leadership, professional/community service, strong role model for girls and community visibility.

This year's Women of Distinction, Hope Blackley-Logan and Elaine Smith continue our founder's century-old tradition of championing girls and demonstrating that women can succeed in any endeavour they choose. Our honorees' professional backgrounds and community involvement will inspire girls to realize their full potential.
