The Inspiring Women of the Southwest Awards is named in loving memory of the founder, past recipient and our dear friend, Audrey Kaplan.

The Inspiring Women of the Southwest Awards are presented to women from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. They have been diligent in the pursuit of positive social change, and who, as role models, have made an impact on our communities, either local or regionally. These inspiring women advocate for inclusiveness in our society and support positions consistent with the mission of SWJC.
