Dr. Mae C. Jemison will be the keynote speaker at the annual Women of Distinction Luncheon on Nov 3 at the Omni Dallas Hotel. Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas representatives said they are thrilled to hear the first African American woman in space talk about her experiences.
The luncheon honors extraordinary women who have made significant contributions toward advancing opportunities for women.
