Every year since 1965, the Women of Dedication committee has selected and honored outstanding women from the San Diego region who excel in selfless service to improve the lives of San Diego residents.

In 2016, Nile Sisters Development Initiative CEO and founder Elizabeth Lou joined the list of Women of Dedication honorees, based upon her 15+ year history of serving refugees and newly arrived immigrants resettling and assimilating new lives in San Diego County. Commitment to service led Elizabeth to establish Nile Sisters Development Initiative in 2001.
