The winners will be recognized at the Brava! Awards ceremony on Tuesday, July 24 at 6 p.m. at the Kellogg Conference Center at Gallaudet University. An expected sell-out event, 400 local C-level executives and guests will attend to celebrate the winners’ achievements.  

“The 2012 Brava winners are an impressive group of women doing exceptional things for our community and beyond.
