Nominate a Designing Woman!
In 2013, we will honor women in the fields of Floral Design, Event Design, and Cake Design.  Highlighting different design fields helps WFA draw a visible connection between women actively working in careers utilizing ESTEM (economics, science, technology, engineering and math) and its Girls of Promise conference series held annually for 8th grade girls on college and university campuses across the state.

Nomination Form:  Coming soon!
