The Mary Harriman Community Leadership Award is bestowed upon a transformational female leader who has set bold goals, opened her circle, disrupted convention and changed the conversation for the betterment of civil society. Over the last two years, we’ve had absolutely outstanding Mary Harriman Award winners who we were not able to be celebrated in person. In order to give space to properly honor them while we’re all here together, we will be acknowledging our 2020 recipient, Former Chief Justice Cheri Beasley from the JL of Raleigh and Fayetteville North Carolina, and our 2021 recipient, the Honorable Susan Brooks, in lieu of presenting a 2022 Mary Harriman Community Leadership Award.
