Tempo Waukesha will honor Adrienne Bryant and Chaplain Krista Hull as the 2024 honorees for its annual “Celebrating Women Leaders” luncheon on Tuesday, October 22, at the Brookfield Conference Center.

As Executive Director of Moreland OB/GYN Associates, S.C., Adrienne Bryant manages 115 employees across seven practice locations in Brookfield, Hartland, Mukwonago, Oconomowoc, Sussex, Watertown and Waukesha. She is being honored because her work has significantly impacted local women’s health by prioritizing patient outcomes, education and access to care.

Chaplain Krista Hull is the Founder and Executive Director of Redeem and Restore Center (RRC), where she leads a team helping women who have been victims of sex trafficking and exploitation to build a foundation of healing and restore their lives. Earlier this year, RRC opened its long-term restorative care home in Waukesha that provides 12-24 months of mental, physical, emotional, relational and spiritual healing for women.

The event is presented by Moreland OB/GYN Associates and is co-chaired by Sara Clark, Director of HR and Administration for Habitat for Humanity of Waukesha and Jefferson Counties, and Kelly Gerlach, Director of Advancement for First Stage in Milwaukee.

“Adrienne Bryant and Chaplain Krista Hull have both devoted their careers to developing, supporting, and empowering women throughout this community.  It’s that profound passion and dedication that we are proud to honor at this event in a room filled with their peers,” said Clark.

The theme of this year’s event is “Tempo: Through the Eras.” In addition to the awards celebration, the luncheon program will feature a speaker panel presenting women leaders with diverse experiences, showcasing how women’s leadership has evolved across different sectors and eras. Panelists include:

• Susan Marshall – author, speaker and leadership advisor, The Backbone Institute
• Jade Hendricks – Assistant Vice President of Investor Relations, MLG Capital
• Andrea Kiemen-Rognsvoog – Vice President, Lockton Companies
• Susan Varella – Executive Director, Skylight Music Theater

“This event is more than just a celebration; it reflects how far women have come in the workforce and the powerful influence of their perseverance,” stated Gerlach. “The program will capture the progress through generations, giving us a chance to honor both the triumphs and the ongoing challenges.”

Tickets for the event are $75 and are available at https://tempowaukesha.com . Registration closes on September 30.
