39th Annual Sacagawea AwardsVirtual Event: July 16, 2020Professional Dimensions’ Sacagawea award was created in 1982 to recognize two trailblazing women who exhibit the spirit of Sacagawea. The award is named for the Native American woman who helped guide Lewis and Clark on their legendary 1804-1806 search for the Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean. This prestigious honor acknowledges exceptional leadership by “Women Who Inspire,” and embraced opportunities to hone their skills and strive toward excellence by conquering daily challenges through career achievements. The Sacagawea Awards is now a virtual experience that will be held Thursday, July 16, 2020. Proceeds of this annual fundraising event will benefit Milwaukee area organizations that work to advance the self-sufficiency of women and girls. Our 2020 beneficiary is YWCA Southeast Wisconsin. 2020 Sacagawea Award Winners We are proud to announce the selection of our 2020 Sacagawea Award winners.

We are thrilled to honor these two trailblazing women leaders who have been selected for their career accomplishments, commitment to community and dedication to addressing issues facing women today.
Raskopf is an Oconomowoc-based artist, known for residential and commercial murals adorning homes and establishments throughout the Lake Country Area. Raskopf says she imagines Sacagawea "walking through the dense flowing colors of the forest, seeking bits of light and color by which to guide her followers to their objective." In this spirit, she includes flowing earthy elements in her paintings, guiding the viewer into another world.
