t the Zodiac Room in Neiman Marcus, the 2016 class of Women of Achievement was welcomed by the organization’s officers, including President Joni Karandjeff, Vice President Gwendolyn Packnett, Ph.D., Luncheon Chair Pam Toder and Vice Chair Gin Wachter, as well as by last year’s honorees. The magnificent and delicious luncheon – sponsored and presented by Neiman Marcus and hosted by Neiman Marcus Vice President/General Manager Allen Barber and Neiman Marcus Public Relations Manager Teri Rafferty – celebrated this year’s honorees, 10 extraordinary volunteers from the St. Louis metropolitan region. The tables were decorated with gorgeous flower arrangements prepared by Neiman Marcus staff, and each honoree received a beautiful handcrafted Lalique Anemone Figure. Founded in 1955, the St. Louis Women of Achievement Award is the oldest ongoing program in the area whose sole mission is to honor and recognize the volunteer service and volunteer leadership of women.
