DEL.ICIO.USTiffany event’s a Dream
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Joiel Alexander, Lynne Homrich, and Coach Marynell Meadors
She’s got game, and she’s got bling.
Marynell Meadors, coach of Atlanta’s new WNBA franchise, the Atlanta Dream, was among the local notables at a fab event at Tiffany’s the other day to honor leaders of Atlanta organizations and businesses dedicated to advancing women in business.
The Uptown Scoop All-Star Awards was co-hosted by the Atlanta Dream, and Meadors and Uptown Scoop CEO Lynne Homrich had the most enviable tasks of modeling gorgeous diamond necklaces as they presented the awards.
The Dream’s 34-game schedule begins in Connecticut on May 17, with the home opener at Philips Arena coming May 23.
(Oh that reminds me, S.B. ran into a few members of the Dream team, including Allison Fillmore, vice president of ticket sales and service, on Tuesday night while knocking back a pomegranate martini at Thrive. Fillmore was mingling and touting the Dream with colleagues Akilah Washington, Jimmelle Melvin and Eric Schirmer. A really affable bunch.)
Sorry, I digress.
Alright, honorees at the Tiffany event included Judy Agerton of AT&T, Amy Brady of Bank of America, Katie Davis of Home Depot, Stephanie Davis of Skirt! Magazine, Mary Ann Green of Delta Air Lines, Cynthia Good and Genevieve Bos of PINK Magazine, Tracey Rice of Coca-Cola, Randi Menkin of UPS, Sheila Weidman of Georgia-Pacific, Deborah Richardson of the Atlanta Women’s Foundation, Christine St. Clare of KPMG LLP, Susan Steel of GE Capital Solutions and Donna Willard of eWomenNetwork.
Guests included philanthropist Stephanie Blank, Atlanta City Council President Lisa Borders and Olympic gold medalist Carla McGhee. The crowd nibbled on shrimp and grits, mini quiches and pastries at the morning event.
