Leading, inspiring and changing lives
The 2021 Women of Distinction are inspirational leaders whose vision, dedication and compassion improve our community. We will introduce each honoree before our virtual event July 15.

Elaina Rodriguez
Sophomore
Carroll University

Described as an “old soul” even as a young child, Elaina has long had a passion for leadership and helping others. Raised in a large family with a special needs brother, she became interested early on in healthcare. She graduated from the Waukesha Academy of Health Professions at Waukesha South High School and is now a sophomore majoring in healthcare administration at Carroll University. 
Described as one who “leads from a position of compassion,” “exemplifies integrity” and “has a true collaborative spirit,” she is already a role model. Said one supporter: “This young woman is the future leader I want for my beloved community.”

To hear Elaina describe what motives her to help others, register below to attend the Women of Distinction virtual event.
