Durham Magazine, Chapel Hill Magazine and Chatham Magazine hosted the annual Women of Achievement Luncheon, which celebrates the outstanding female community leaders featured in our publications, at The Carolina Inn on May 31. Attendees enjoyed networking and mimosas followed by lunch and dessert catered by Crossroads Chapel Hill. Keynote speaker Ashleigh Shelby Rosette, the James L. Vincent professor of leadership at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, utilized her research on the intersection of leadership, gender and race to guide an enlightening discussion on how stereotypes and bias affect present-day organizations. Triangle Media Partners’ Lauren Godwin, Melissa Crane and Lucinda Poole recognized the 2024 magazine honorees, and Triangle Digital Partners President Rory Gillis and TMP Vice President Chris Elkins encouraged attendees to get involved in mentoring programs, especially those catered toward young girls. 6
