“Today’s women leaders are Game Changers. They take charge of their careers and take charge of their futures. These women have made their mark in business and are exceptionally strong role models of what a woman can do. Giving recognition to these deserving women will also inspire future generations,” said Dr. Lisa Lindsay Wicker, president & CEO, LWA and founder of the Career Mastered Women’s History Month Recognition Program.

“I’ve always been a dreamer but never did I imagine that my passion for fashion and love for humanity would impact so many lives. I absolutely love the work that I do and I am truly humbled and grateful to be receiving such high honors with so many other amazing women,” commented Vaughn.

“Reading through this year’s list of honorees, it’s undeniable that women continue to play an integral, vital role as leaders in our regional business landscape,” said Tanya R. Allen, president of NAWBO Greater Detroit. “The quality and caliber of these women, including all those that were nominated, speaks to the strength of the entrepreneurial spirit that has not only provided stability in our region through the difficult times, but distinguished southeast Michigan as a driver of the state’s economic revival and success.”

On March 18, 2016, Vaughn will address more than 800 Model United Nations students at Michigan State University. Along with sharing her personal success story, Vaughn will provide guidance on overcoming obstacles and adversities, the road to entrepreneurship, taking advantage of opportunities and continuing to develop a global mindset.

“As a Michigan State Alumnus, it is such an honor for me to share my many learnings and experiences that helped me to build a successful organization. I am absolutely thrilled at the opportunity to encourage young people to go after their dreams. Looking back over my career, I realize that I didn’t make it to this place in life alone. There were many people who shared their stories with me and invested in me and I am beyond grateful to be able to pay it forward for our future generation of leaders.”
