South Florida Chapter Overview
Our scholarship event was a huge success, with over 100 attendees! Thank you for attending the WTS
South Florida Scholarship event held in Miami on June 22. Let’s congratulate once again Nafiseh Kiani for
winning the 2022 Helene M. Overly Memorial Scholarship! We are eager to see what great successes
await her and wish her nothing but the best.
Congratulations to Secretary Stacy Miller for winning the 2022 Woman of the Year Award! She has set a role model for transportation professionals, and this award is well deserved.
Special thanks to our Keynote Speaker, Eulois Cleckley. We appreciate his support and dedication to advancing women and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the transportation industry.
With much to celebrate, we also have many to thank. This event would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors:
Gold Event Sponsors
Silver Event Sponsors
Annual Sponsors
Special thanks to all of our sponsors for their generous support. Your contribution has helped us continue to expand our mission to provide the community, resources, and education that women in transportation need to thrive.
Thank you to Carlos Sainte Photography for capturing the essence of the evening!
We hope to see you again next year or at one of our upcoming events!
