These remarkable women have demonstrated the vision, adaptability, and collaborative approach necessary to guide their organizations through today's complex challenges. They understand the importance of cultivating inclusive teams, encouraging innovation, and leading with both resilience and empathy. Through effective communication, mentorship, and a focus on long-term growth, they have created environments where individuals can thrive and perform at their best.
This year's honorees represent the very best in leadership, including Danielle Clifford, an SVP and the Head of Business Transformation at Farmers Insurance.

Known for empowering teams and fostering meaningful change, we honor Monica Frederick, the Executive Director of Pablo Center at the Confluence, a state-of-the-art performing and visual arts center in Wisconsin. Frederick is a dynamic nonprofit executive and transformational leader. Since stepping into her role, she has led a bold financial and operational turnaround, restoring stability, reimagining strategy, and positioning Pablo Center as a thriving hub for culture, connection, and innovation. Under her leadership, Pablo Center has expanded its reach to include a rich mix of programming, from world-class performances and immersive visual art exhibits to STEAM education, workforce development, and creative experiences for all ages.
Lastly, we congratulate Carrie Gray, the Owner and Principal of Cielo Strategy Group. Gray brings 36 years of nonprofit experience in fundraising, strategy, budgeting, organizational development, community partnerships, and board governance. She led a $25 million multifaceted campaign for the YWCA Seattle | King | Snohomish, and has created numerous communications plans, designed programs for girls of all ages, and served on the leadership team that guided the YWCA through program acquisition. She is also the architect and creator of the nonprofit capacity-building program for Knapp Community Care Foundation and Valley Baptist Legacy Foundation, an initiative designed to strengthen individual nonprofit leaders and organizations.
