She can see for miles and miles!  Last Wednesday night, Jane joined nine other SIGHT Visionaries (including West Hartford Restaurateur Billy Grant) who were celebrated for their foresight by West Hartford’s SIGHT Eye Health.

Dr. Melissa Lambright, founder of  SIGHT,  noted, “What all of these ‘change agents’ have in common is that they possess not only a clear vision of the future, but also a clear sense of how to get there.”  Jane and her posse of friends enjoyed the event put on by good friend Stacy Rome of marketing firm Brand New with help from another good friend, Marina from Marina Luri Events, enjoying delicious food from Riverhouse Catering.  Fun night—Dr. Lambright’s a visionary herself who has pulled together terrific team of upbeat folks who really embrace high-touch service.

The Visionaries included Billy Grant, Restaurateur/Founder Billy Grant Dining; David Jacobs, Executive Director of Mandell JCC; Julie Daly Meehan, HYPE Executive Director and Director of Investor Engagement & Digital Media at MetroHartford Alliance; Roxanna Booth Miller, Co-Director & Chief Development Officer of the Hartford Youth Scholars Foundation; Kimberly Mattson Moster, Owner Kimberly Boutiques and kimberly Gift; Jane Shauck, Founder IRIS Photography and Jane Shauck Photography; Sheila Schectman, CEO of American Gourmet Group and Hebert Candies; Laura Schmelter, Director of Resource Development at United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut; Cheryl Dumont Smith, Executive Director of Aurora Women and Girls Foundation; and Will K. Wilkins, Executive Director of Real Art Ways.

Thanks Melissa for recognizing Jane among a distinguished group of dynamic and engaged people in the Metro Hartford area!  Here are some pics from the night (thanks Liz Calvi!).
