Georgia Tech's annual Women's Leadership Conference was held this past weekend drawing hundreds of women for workshops, speeches, and networking opportunities.  The conference's theme, unleash your potential impact the world, was exemplified through the recognition of five women of distinction within the Georgia Tech community.

The Woman of Distinction Award is presented each year to students, faculty, stuff, and alums who exhibit exemplary leadership, heart, and innovative problem solving.  This year's honorees lead inspiring lives that uplift the entire Georgia Tech Community.
