Women’s Center Executive Director Sutapa Basu was recently recognized by Seattle Storm WNBA team as a Woman of Inspiration.

During its July 12, 2008 game against the L.A. Sparks, the Seattle Storm hosted its third annual Women of Inspiration Night, honoring a group of accomplished women who have been trailblazers in their fields.
“Part of the mission of the Storm is to provide young girls and boys role models they can look to for inspiration, to show them what is possible to achieve in life when you work hard and reach for your dreams. This night is an opportunity to shine the spotlight on women who have dedicated themselves to helping others and have done so much to give back to the community,’’ Seattle Storm CEO Karen Bryant said.

The 2008 honorees were Dr. Sutapa Basu, Mimi Gates, Ramona Pierson and Colleen Willoughby. The Storm’s Women of Inspiration Night is sponsored by Wells Fargo and Saturn and will include a special ceremony during halftime of the game.
