      It's often said that behind every great man is a great woman. Terri Russ noticed that when people told the story of South Bend's history it was often stories of the men who made it happen, but what she would later learn is that the women of South Bend made an incredible impact for this community as well and their stories deserved to be heard and shared. This resulted in the founding of the Michiana Women Leaders organization, where they work to chronicle, celebrate and recognize the many women who made a difference in our community.
