Women of Distinction

Women of Purpose and Impact

The Missouri Athletic Club annually recognizes women in the St. Louis region who are demonstrating tremendous vision and mentorship in business, civic and philanthropic endeavors. Since 2011, more than 50 honorees have been celebrated for making an impact in many different ways and all have been selected for their outstanding demonstration of excellence, growth, grit/determination and empathy.

In 2026, the MAC will continue the tradition of honoring four women from the community and one Rising Star. The Rising Star should be someone 35 years of age or less who is leading the next generation of professional women to new heights.
