Today we honor our newest Academy members: Sandra J. Anderson, Alison J. Barret, Francie Henry, Lisa Ingram, Dr. Anahi Ortiz, and Barbara Jean Smoot. These exemplary women join 268 others who have been inducted into our Academy of Women of Achievement over the last 35 years.
In holding true with tradition–in this milestone year–we also honor exemplary young women doing great work in our community. These Women On The Rise–Victoria Alesi, Suzy Bureau, Rhiannon Childs, Jordan Davis, Sundeepti Jindal and Christina Patel–will be the next change-makers in Columbus.

SANDRA J. ANDERSONRETIRED ATTORNEY, NOW COMMUNITY SERVANT
2020 Woman of Achievement
8
Sandy Anderson has an incredible personal and professional track record of commitment to dignity, equity, and respect for others. Raised as a farmer’s daughter in Ross County, she went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude from Ohio University, and Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University School of Law, where she earned her Juris Doctor degree.
Sandy became a female attorney when the practice of law was extremely male-dominated. While working on the partnership track, she opened doors and carved a path for the female attorneys who would come after her. Beginning in the 1990s, Sandy fought for gender fairness for women in law, even serving on the Ohio Supreme Court Joint Task Force for Gender Fairness.
She is a generous mentor to young attorneys and to women beginning their service as
board members. Her own board service, both past and present, is expansive. From her election as the first woman President of the Columbus Bar Association Board of Governors in 1996, to her current leadership of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio and Equality Ohio, Sandy has been positively impacting the Columbus community for decades. Her tenure on Equality Ohio spanned the battle for marriage equality, and now she is an adamant defender of women’s reproductive rights through her work with Planned Parenthood.
She is a tireless advocate for women, minorities, and members of LGBTQIA communities, both in her work as an attorney, and through her numerous roles as a community servant.
It’s Time for women to help women TAKE CHARGE.
2020 Woman of Achievement
ALISON J. BARRET GRANTS & SERVICES DIRECTOR, GREATER COLUMBUS ARTS COUNCIL
11
Now more than ever, It’s Time toMARCH FORTH!
Alison is an insistent voice for social justice whose service is humble, inspiring, and genuine. As the Director of Grants and Services at the Greater Columbus Arts Council, she is responsible for awarding approximately $4 million yearly in grants to artists and arts organizations in the Columbus area, while assuring equity and access to funding for all segments of the community.
Her current role at GCAC follows a long professional history of philanthropy in Central Ohio. Because of her background, Alison’s counsel is sought by nonprofit leaders and development professionals to strengthen fundraising campaigns and diversify organizations. As a result, Alison’s impact on philanthropy in Columbus, and therefore on the community in general, is wide and deep.
In addition to her professional service, Alison has served on many nonprofit boards—BESA, YWCA Columbus, Thurber House, and Broad Street Presbyterian Church. But her nearly 20 years of philanthropy experience and board service are just the tip of the iceberg of Alison’s giving spirit.
She donates much of her personal time and treasure to the causes dearest to her, and encourages others to do the same, in ways big and small. On her birthday (March 4th), Alison asks her friends and family to “March Forth” and participate in their communities, amplifying and multiplying her generous impact.
13
FRANCIE HENRYREGIONAL PRESIDENT, FIFTH THIRD BANK
2020 Woman of Achievement
12
It’s Time for us to APPRECIATE one another for who we are.
Francie is driven to make a difference in Central Ohio through empowering women and providing educational opportunities for low to moderate-income individuals. These two passions are the motivating force between Francie’s personal volunteerism and her professional philanthropy at Fifth Third Bank, where she serves as the only female Regional President.
Her long and impressive career history in banking tells the story of hard work and perseverance, which is rooted in Francie’s experiences growing up as the daughter of hardworking Greek immigrants in Mount Vernon, Ohio.
Through her remarkable banking career, Francie has mentored hundreds of
women inside and outside of Fifth Third Bank, providing a strong model of female leadership in a historically male-dominated industry.
Her profound impact on the Central Ohio community can be seen and felt in her service and contributions to The Women’s Fund of Central Ohio, the Columbus Women’s Commission, the Ohio Commission of Independent Colleges, the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts, and many more. Francie gravitates toward supporting nonprofit organizations that appreciate gender, cultural, and ethnic differences. She advocates that these differences are what provide the spirit and vitality of a community.
15
LISA INGRAM PRESIDENT & CEO, WHITE CASTLE
2020 Woman of Achievement
Lisa Ingram is a champion for diversity and a strong advocate for vulnerable populations. This is apparent in her actions as the President and CEO of White Castle, where she has created a Diversity and Inclusion Committee, and worked to revise systems and processes so that women and minorities have equal opportunities for promotion. Lisa is the fourth Ingram family member to serve as President of the iconic Columbus company.
Outside of White Castle, Lisa’s commitment to inclusion and empowerment comes shining through in her volunteer board involvement. In her work on the OhioHealth board, she advocates to ensure resources are put in place to bridge gaps for our community’s most vulnerable populations. Similarly, through her work on the United Way of Central Ohio board, she champions
creating opportunity and investment in underserved neighborhoods. In addition to her own board service, Lisa is a member of a local program to prepare women for board roles, where she provides an example of powerful female leadership while helping others navigate new service opportunities.
Her innovation and creativity, coupled with her vision and values, has made her a force within her industry, and these same qualities have been an invaluable asset to the city of Columbus. In 2018, Lisa was named one of 35 Women’s Foodservice Forum Industry Titans, where she was recognized for her public commitment to prioritizing women’s advancement within her organization.
It’s Time, because now we KNOW better.And together we must DO better to achieve lasting change for generations to come.
2020 Woman of Achievement
It’s Time that we start having REAL CONVERSATIONS with young people about mental well-being.
Dr. Ortiz brings compassion and dignity to her work in a way that has impacted many of our community members during their most vulnerable time. As the Franklin County Coroner, she is committed to treating everyone who comes to her office with dignity and respect.
Her focus on prevention, such as the creation of the Franklin County Opiate Crisis Task Force, will have long-lasting positive impacts on the underserved and overlooked populations of our area. In February of 2019, Dr. Ortiz assisted in launching CORRN, the Central Ohio Recovery Residences Network, which provides resources for those in search of recovery residence. Her dedication to mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and the elimination of addiction stigma will have long-lasting impacts on the health and wellness of Franklin County residents.
Her upbringing in the Bronx, New York, as the daughter of immigrant parents, has inspired her commitment to cultural sensitivity and ensuring important community resources are accessible to all.
As a Latina woman, she serves her community as a mentor, speaker, and advisor for organizations such as WELD, the Latina Mentoring Academy, Ohio Latino Affairs Commission, Our Lady of Guadalupe Center, and more. She also serves on the advisory boards for YMCA of Central Ohio, Netcare, Franklin County Suicide Prevention Coalition, EnVision, and Poyecto Mariposas. Professionally and personally, Dr. Ortiz is committed to creating a more equitable city with determination, generosity, and courage.

BARBARA JEAN SMOOTPRESIDENT & CEO, WOMEN FOR ECONOMIC AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT (WELD)
2020 Woman of Achievement
Barb advocates fiercely for the advancement of women and women of color. As the President and CEO of WELD (Women for Economic Leadership Development), she is tirelessly committed to strengthening the prosperity of communities through developing women’s leadership. Under Barb’s leadership, WELD has launched an innovative suite of programs designed to help women and people of color for government boards and commissions, for-profit advisory boards, and public and private company boards.
Outside of her role with WELD, she shares her time and talent with many other organizations, serving as a Commissioner of the Columbus Women’s Commission, Advisory Board Member of the Overcomer Foundation, and Board Member of National Church Residences. Through her work with these organizations and more, Barb has
dedicated her life to empowering women and overcoming racial and economic barriers to their opportunities.
In addition to her board service, Barb provides guidance to nonprofit leaders, helping them to diversify and grow their organizations. Her strong and encouraging leadership has also positioned her to mentor several women and, through her personal and professional philanthropy, provide life-changing resources for women in need. These include assistance in finding childcare, scholarships, and rides to leadership events. Barb’s commitment to developing the next generation of women leaders is impassioned and far-reaching.
Her ability to bring together women of all walks of life, ethnicities, incomes, abilities and ages has greatly enriched the Central Ohio community.
It’s Time for all of us to plant ourselves squarely…. to end gender disparity…to eliminate the choking weeds of racism ensuring that Black Lives Matter…and CULTIVATE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL.
