Dana Marie Lupton, Executive/Artistic Director of Moving in the Spirit, was honored with a Womenetics 2014 POW! Award on April 30, 2014. Since 2009, Womenetics has presented the POW! Awards to recognize extraordinary female leaders who have attained a high level of transformative success in business, academia or a non-profit, and are change agents in the community, respected for significant contributions locally and globally.

The event’s theme – “The Defining Moment” – ignited a discussion about the catalytic experiences and opportunities that shaped the careers and lives of Atlanta’s and Chicago’s leading women. Learn more about Dana’s “Defining Moment” below:
