PINNACLE AWARDS Aimee Sachs, small in stature, but brimming with confidence, driven by desire and too near the realization of her dreams to be denied, took her place in a male bastion — a press box overlooking men making millions playing a boy’s game. Sachs (photo, this page) represents as well as anyone could the spirit of the Pinnacle Awards, which were instituted in 2014 to congratulate, thank and bring to wider attention accomplished women who have succeeded professionally and made important contributions to communities. The honorees, unfailingly, provide powerful examples of compassion, nurturance and leadership to their families, to the men and women in their circles and even to people they will never meet. For them, there is only one kind of barrier — the permeable kind. — Steve Bornhoft
