Mayor Pro Tempore Vivian Burke has led the charge in honoring local women through the annual Outstanding Women Leaders recep tions, which she has sponsored since their inception in 2003. Last week, past honorees turned the tables on Burke, feting the veteran politician for her own contribu tions to the city during the Outstanding Women Leaders Reunion. "This evening's reception marks the 10th anniversary of honoring Outstanding Women Leaders, out standing women lead ers who reached high goals, and each year, their stories were hon ored and told," said 2010 honoree Nell Britton, reciting a poem she penned for the occasion that likened the women leaders to birds flying in a 'V' formation. "...Dr. Vivian H. Burke released us to fly. It was her idea, and she took the lead, to honor outstanding women who lead.
