Congratulations to our winner, Anna Daly, one of our Outstanding Women of 2026!
“Anna is also a loving mother, partner, daughter, and sister, honoring her sister’s legacy through action, service, and compassion. She is driven not by accolades, but by a genuine desire to uplift others and create meaningful change.”- Sara Spear
