The Women’s Leadership Forum of the Coachella Valley held its 10th annual Women Who Rule awards and scholarship luncheon, celebrating leaders in the community and recognizing 10 young women who received mentoring and scholarships from the organization. Emmy-winning news anchor Karen Devine served as emcee, and awards were presented to Connie Golds, Victory Grund, Theresa Mike, and Raju and Jaishri Mehta. An entertaining live auction raised a generous amount to help with programs and scholarship awards for high school graduates in the Coachella Valley.
