From the Archives of River Region Living – 2019: The heart of Alabama’s past Women of Achievement honorees were recognized during a reception at the Capital City Club. Friends, family and well-wishers came out to congratulate and show their support for these accomplished women. River Region Living Magazine began recognizing women who positively impact our businesses, the arts and our community in 2016.
Attending Women of Achievement received a certificate presented by River Region Living‘s Publisher, Charlie Shamburger. In attendance from the class of 2019 were Lynn Carter, President and owner Southeast Cherokee Construction, Inc.; Jan Hill, Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer at Jackson Hospital; Ashley Jernigan of JBD Hospitality LLC, Kyser Property Management & Central Restaurant; Clare Weil of The UPS Store; and Judy Barganier from the Law offices of Judy H. Barganier and Winston W. Edwards, P.C.
Also receiving a certificate were Sieu Tang Wood of Tang’s Alterations — from the inaugural Women Of Achievement issue of 2016.

Other supporters and well-wishers of the Women of Achievement included River Region Living‘s own Henrietta MacGuire and Helen Sevier — two trailblazing Women of Achievement in their own right. Henrietta passed away at the young age of 102 years, the former first First Lady of Costa Rica and founder of Montgomery Living Magazine (later renamed River Region Living Magazine), will be missed. Ms. MacGuire was in the office daily — when she was not traveling the world — and was a regular contributor to the magazine. As principle of River Region Living Helen Sevier — former owner and CEO of B.A.S.S., Inc which published Bassmaster Magazine, conducted the Bassmaster Tournament Series and BassMaster’s Classic and produced the Bassmaster TV Show — guides and mentors the entire team at River Region Living.
