Yesterday, Apr. 17, Godiva Chocolatier unveiled its new global, corporate philanthropy initiative, “The Lady Godiva Program.” The program intends to “celebrate inspirational women around the world who embody the attributes of Lady Godiva through selflessness, generosity, leadership and the spirit of giving-back to the community,” according to a Godiva statement.

The chocolatier’s first national honoree ?
