Leading, inspiring and changing lives

The 2022 Women of Distinction are inspirational leaders whose vision, dedication and compassion improve our community. We will introduce each honoree before our in-person luncheon May 13.

DR. JEANNE SIEGENTHALER

Superintendent/District Manager

Richmond School District

Recognized as a “servant leader, advocate and change leader” by one supporter, Dr. Jeanne Siegenthaler has earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues during a long career in education. The first woman superintendent of the Richmond School District, she was named Wisconsin Elementary Principal of the Year in 2011 while principal at Dixon Elementary School in the Elmbrook School District. She also won the Distinguished Alumni Award from Madison’s Edgewood College in 2020.

Another nominator noted her “positive attitude and fierce determination to advocate for children.” During her 11-year tenure at Dixon, she earned the respect and admiration of her staff by treating “everyone with equal consideration, compassion and understanding,” a colleague wrote. She mentored and supported teachers so they could do what they do best – teach and support students.
