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.

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.
