Special thanks go to the Steering Committee and Film Selection Committees who labor all year round to produce this event; to our Publicity folks - who got our name out far and wide; to our excellent web site and new media committee who brought us reluctantly into the world of Google documents, Twitter, FaceBook et al and especially to Kristin Wilson for her tireless work on our website; to our fund-raising /grant committee who acquired much needed funding; the Visions Art Show crew for organizing a wonderful venue for local artists; BethAnn Agostini for her invaluable legal advice; the show volunteer committee and all the show volunteers - who made sure there were people to sell tickets and welcome film goers; and to the dozens of other volunteers from hospitality, film trackers and marketing to proofreaders, Best in Fest and data compilation - we are very grateful for you all.

Finally, our gratitude and awe go to the many courageous and strong women in the world who are making their own lives and the lives of many others better, by winning over unsurmountable odds. And to the creative and insightful film makers and directors who tell their stories.
