Austin Fearless Woman Award at Maggiano’s
What a thrill to enter a room full of dauntless women. At a banquet hall inside the vast, dark Maggiano’s in the Domain, several dozen crisply dressed leaders from the Austin Chapter of EWomen Network had gathered Thursday to give out the Austin Fearless Woman Award.
Patti DeNucci and Jean Carpenter Backus
The nationwide Fearless Women Days — and their attendant awards — were timed to the 90th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote. The victor was entrepreneur, environmentalist, filmmaker and screenwriter Brandy Amstel, who posed with a rather serious looking sword which was used by photographer Mary Ann Halpin in her book of portraits, titled, of course, “Fearless Women.”
Brandy Amstel and Steve Barcik
Two Austin entrepreneurs, Jean Carpenter-Backus of Carpenter and Langford, and Patti DeNucci of DeNucci & Co. were featured prominently in the book.
Lisa Copeland, Melinda Garvey and Ricci Neer
Other finalists for the local award included Melinda Garvey, Austin Woman Magazine, Sari Waxler, Seedling Foundation, Melanie Moore. Badgerdog Literary Publishing, Cherie Matthews, Heal in Comfort.
