These six incomparable women were honored for their presence within the local community, level of involvement, breadth and reach and professional achievements.
The final of the six to formally accept her honor, Amy Stewart Sanders recognized that empowered women are empowered by the company they keep, "Behind any woman who's had an impact, there's a team of family, colleagues and friends who provide support as you work to change the lives of others." /// |

The dawn of the day commenced with a breakfast of champions at the Wyndham Airport Hotel as El Paso, Inc. presented (and celebrated) the 2011 Women of Impact on October 14, 2011. It was a daunting task for a panel of esteemed judges to peruse a number of top-tier nominations before selecting their superlative six 2011 Women of Impact honorees.
"We all want to change the world; let's not forget that we can," said honoree, Katherine Brennand, closing her address with simple, yet profound words that resonated amongst a ballroom full of admirers and peers.
Community volunteer leader Katherine Brennand's accompanying honorees included KVIA's Estela Casas; chief design officer for Susan Eisen Fine Jewelry and Watches' Susan Eisen; "professional volunteer" Ginger Gurss Francis; co-founder and marketing director for Lynx Exhibits, Laurie Paternoster; and attorney Amy Stewart Sanders.
