Ruby Awards

Each year, Soroptimist International of Visalia honors two community women and an organization with our prestigious Ruby Award. The recipients are recognized for supporting our mission of empowering women and girls through education as well as reflecting our values of gender equality and diversity. They are presented the award and celebrated at a community-wide Ruby Awards dinner.

Miriam and Courtney Sallam are the recipients of the 2026 Ruby Awards. They are pictured here with Amy Shuklian, Erin Garner-Ford, Anita Guerrero Ortiz, and Adrianne Hillman. Erin, Anita, and Adrianne are all past Ruby Award Winners.
