It has officially been a week since the Betty's wrapped up! Everyone was immensely encouraging and enthusiastic this year which really showed just how supportive our community is to one another.
The Betty's Board would like to once again thank everyone who attended as it was very literally the community giving us 110% with an attendance that was almost double what we had in 2022. We promise to take what we learned this year and carry it forward to make the 25th Anniversary as special, accommodating, and fun as possible!
Lastly, before we arrive at the list of this year's winners, we want to encourage anyone with an interest in helping out to contact us at info@bettymitchellawards.com. We are looking for new Board Members, Nomination Committee members, and volunteers for the night of the performance. If you like what we do, join us, if you hate what we do join us, and if you think you can do it better; absolutely join us!
And now...The Winners of the 2022-2023 season!
