On the evening of Wednesday, March 2, 2016, M’Lou Bancroft was honored with the Profiles in Leadership Award of the Southern Methodist University Women’s Symposium. The Profiles in Leadership Awards, initiated in 2000 at the 35th Annual Women’s Symposium, recognize women whose actions and example have served to advance the cause of women in the Dallas area. They are celebrated at the SMU Women’s Symposium as examples and mentors to women at all stages of life, and especially to young women at a time when they have many important decisions ahead of them.
M’Lou was recognized because she has “tenderly and doggedly mentored women who teetered at the edge of psychological defeat, giving them practical skills and the pride that comes with mastery.” Thank you M’Lou for all that you do!
