It was standing room only at the IMC’s Women’s Diagnostic Center’s Women Making a Difference Luncheon held last week at The Event Center in New Iberia. Eight women from across Acadiana were honored for their commitment and contributions to their communities, and 150 others joined to show their support. Honorees in attendance included: Brianna Davis, Anne Darrah, Melissa Bonin, Angie Eckman, Diane Wiltz and Julie Oubre. Also recognized were Anita Begnaud and Cindy Herring, who were unable to attend the event.
