Houston Woman Magazine hosted a celebration dinner for the honorees and their invited guests on Thursday night, March 21, at the Junior League of Houston. More than 350 attendees filled the Junior League ballroom. Included in the crowd were many past honorees, several elected officials, and local celebrities.

They are knowledgeable and trustworthy. The thoughts and actions of these women influence the thoughts and actions of others.

White, who has more than 35 years of aviation industry experience, serves as a guest speaker and reliable source for media on aviation and entrepreneurship topics. She is a member of the National Business Aviation Association and several other industry and professional associations. 

“What an impressive event it was that Beverly and her Houston Woman Magazine team hosted! I am truly humbled to be included as one of the 50 Women of Influence in the greater Houston area for 2023. I am thankful to have been nominated by my sister and aviation colleague Lorraine Grubbs, and I am thankful that my family was able to join me at the celebration dinner,” White said.
