Honoree Program
The Covenant Foundation and Speaking of Women’s Health will honor women who have made a tremendous difference in the lives of women in our community. Honorees are special women who have enhanced the quality of life for women through efforts in the fields of women’s health, well-being and personal safety. One special women will be honored during the luncheon presentation. A local Speaking of Women’s Health committee made up of community leaders selects honorees.

The Covenant Foundation and Speaking of Women’s Health is accepting nominations for 2008 Honorees who will be recognized at the annual fall Speaking of Women’s Health Conference.

2008 Honoree program
The 2008 Honoree program, "Friends for Life," builds on the concept that an important part of a woman’s healthy lifestyle is maintaining healthy relationships. Research confirms that women who have strong, healthy relationships live longer, healthier lives.

Do you have a friend who has positively impacted your life in regards to your health, well-being, and personal safety - with a long-term, positive outcome? A "Friend for Life" can take shape in many forms, for example:
· A woman who supported a friend who made a healthy lifestyle change (i.e., stop smoking, lower blood pressure, or achieve target healthy weight).
· A mentor or program leader who helped educate and empower a mentee/participant to make positive lifestyle changes.
· A woman who encouraged a friend to further check out a potential health risk, and followed-up.
· A nurse who went above and beyond her professional responsibilities to help a patient through recovery.

Submission and Deadline
The deadline to nominate your "Friend for Life" is July 31, 2008. If you have a "Friend for Life" who you wish to recognize for making a long-term, positive impact in your life, please submit nominations to:
