March is Women’s History Month, and though I am quick to highlight women like Eugenia Duke, who made history in the past, I also want to spotlight the women making an impact in Greenville now that will last well into the future.
Nominations opened yesterday, and we’ll be spotlighting some of your picks throughout the month — so, keep them coming.
Nominated by Danielle Johnson — When you dine at a Table 301 restaurant, you’re experiencing a world that Katie had a heavy hand in crafting. As the Creative Director, she made decisions like the plate you’re eating from, the font on the menu, and the materials surrounding you to create the ambiance you enjoy when you go out to eat.
Katie also serves on the board of the Julie Valentine Center, is an active Furman University alumna, was a Forty under 40 honoree, and was a member of Leadership Greenville Class 51.

Nominated by Christiana Doucette — Glenis Redmond is the current (and first) poet laureate of Greenville. She records Greenville’s past and our present through her poetry with recent collections “The Song of Everything & Over Yonder,” highlighting SC State Parks.
Nominated by Jessica Satava — Beth Paul is the General Manager of Bon Secours Wellness Arena. Satava noted Paul’s commitment to community, inclusion, and service through entertainment and the arts, but we’d be remiss not to mention how she is a driving force who makes weeks like this one — with March Madness in town on the heels of a record SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament — possible, having a vast economic impact on our city. She’s also leading plans for $282 million in improvements in the Arena District, including a new amphitheatre.
