2021 Smart Women in Meetings Hall of Fame Inductees

We are excited to announce Tracy Judge, Founder & CEO of Soundings, has been inducted into the Smart Women in Meetings Hall of Fame!

The quest to be our highest and best selves is never an escalator ride straight to the top. As women work to elevate their careers, their peers and the industry as a whole, the path often requires detours, taking a step back, evaluating obstacles in the way and calling on others to help chart a new course.

- JT Long, Smart Meetings

Congratulations to all of the Smart Women who have been inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, and congratulations to all of the women in each of the Smart Women categories! Read about all of the Smart Women in Meetings on the Smart Meetings website.
