In honor of Women’s History Month, Saks Fifth Avenue will recognize women who are helping to pave the way for the future of mental health care and solutions through its first Visionary Voice Awards program.
Last month, Saks revealed its Here for the Future spring campaign, recognizing forward-looking designers, artists and activists. The Visionary Voice Awards are an extension of that campaign, honoring women working in the mental health field. For the inaugural Visionary Voice Awards, the Saks Foundation’s nonprofit partners nominated 12 women demonstrating leadership in the mental health space. The nominees were reviewed by the Saks executive committee and associates from across the business to select three winners.
They are Dr. Tasha M. Brown, an assistant clinical professor of medical psychology at Columbia University; Dr. Cristiane Duarte, a professor at New York-Presbyterian Youth Anxiety Center, and Angie Stringer, president and chief operating officer of Girls Inc. of Sarasota County.
