About Chez Panisse
 Chez Panisse opened its doors in 1971, started by Alice Waters and an assortment of friends who wanted to do things much as they would be done at a dinner party at home. Alice Waters and Chez Panisse have become convinced that the best-tasting feed is organically grown and harvested in ways that are ecologically sound, by people who are taking care of the land for future generations.

Second Prize
Round-trip airfare, housing, and your choice of any Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership retreat, held at its serene retreat center in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains.
About The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership
 The Woodhull Institute provides ethical leadership training and professional development for women. Too often, success has been measured in terms of the accumulation of power and wealth, with almost no consideration of how these accomplishments have been achieved. Ethical leadership is concerned with the means as well as the ends to personal and professional achievements.
The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership originated in September 1997 when author and lecturer Naomi Wolf and current events KGO radio producer Margot Magowan came together to address their shared concerns regarding the future of American's young women.
At Woodhull retreats, participants learn skills that will allow them to navigate change and transition in their lives; prepare them for their financial futures; and develop their communications and negotiating skills. The program also allows time for reflection, physical activity, guest speakers and round table discussions.
