Boulder, Colorado – August 20, 2024 – For decades, the Boulder Chamber has hosted the Women Who Light The Community signature event, a tradition honoring the extraordinary contributions of businesswomen in the Boulder Region. This event goes beyond an evening of awards and fellowship; it’s a celebration of the remarkable, passionate women who tirelessly drive positive change and make a dedicated impact across our community.

Each year, six honorees are selected from a pool of peer-nominated businesswomen, representing leadership from across sectors including business, nonprofit, education, arts, and local initiatives; these honorees were selected for being trailblazers whose innovative approaches are shaping Boulder and beyond.

This year’s honorees share a common goal: a dedication to changing our community and our world through leadership and passion. Their work lights the way for future change and a strong, inclusive future for all, inspiring us all to make a difference.

2024 Women Who Light the Community Honorees:

  • Adderly Grant-Lord, NAACP Boulder County, and AdderlyArt
  • Ava Hamilton, Arapaho Nation Independent Motion Pictures and Film Professional
  • Jena Griswold, Colorado Secretary of State
  • Sandra Weeks, Blue Spruce Construction Services
  • Sarah Meshak, Boulder Community Health
  • Tyler Jacobs, Emerging Youth Honoree

You’re invited to join us in celebration on September 10 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. at the Embassy Suites in Boulder as we honor these world-changing leaders. Your ticket will include engaging networking, appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinks.

Tables are available for purchase and include front-of-the-room seating, company designation, and special recognition of your support. This is an opportunity to bring your company and celebrate women who are inspiring change in our community while hearing their stories of impact, innovation, and change.

Register today to confirm your spot at this evening of inspiration and honor!

Women Who Light The Community is presented by Corden Pharma.

Shavonne Blades grew up on the West Coast but moved to Colorado in High School. She left for California after school and returned to Colorado in 1990. She got her start in media at the age of 21 in Santa Cruz, California as an advertising sales rep. Having no experience and nothing more than a couple of years as an art college attendee she felt the bug to work in media at a young age. She learned that by helping her customers with design and marketing, their campaigns would be far more successful and has made a 30+ year career in design, copywriting, and marketing for her clients. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPy4MMdcfLg. She has always chosen to work in Independent Media and believes deeply in the need for true, authentic Community Journalism. She is proud that YS has never compromised journalism standards in its 20+ history and continues to print YS on paper monthly while also expanding web coverage. She has worked at 3 Alternative Weeklies and founded Yellow Scene Magazine in 2000.
