We are honored to announce the Keynote Speaker for the 33^rd Annual Top Ten Professional Women and Leading Business Awards is Miss America 2015, Kira Kazantsev. The announcement was made at an Alumni Mixer event held on July 14^th at the Fresno Lexus dealership, in front of an audience of past Top Ten award recipients.

Kira Kazantsev is best known for being crowned as Miss America 2015 and Miss New York 2014. Her personal experience with dating violence was the inspiration and dedication to her pageant platform "Love Shouldn't Hurt": Protecting Women Against Domestic Violence. Through her partnership with Safe Horizon, the largest non-profit victim services agency in the country, she created the #PutTheNailinIt campaign. This nationwide campaign encouraged participants to paint their left ring fingernail purple, the color of the anti-domestic violence movement, in support of showing others that they vow to end domestic violence.
