West Michigan Woman magazine is pleased to honor Julie Dankovich, CEO/Founder of Designed Future, as a finalist for our 2021 Brilliant Champion of Service Award.
The event shines a light on the dynamic talent, spirit and intellect of local women; it celebrates the brilliant and meaningful impact they have on our careers and communities. Focusing on nominees who excel in their fields, are committed to creating positive change and demonstrate how they elevate other women, the WMW Brilliance Awards recognizes those who tackle the issues facing professional women and blaze trails for the rest of us.
