Residential Properties Ltd. (RPL) president and CEO, Sally Lapides has been named among this year's honorees at the 10th Annual Young Women Christian Association (YWCA) "Women of Achievement Awards" luncheon. The event will be held on September 30 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Kirkbrae Country Club.
"I am both honored and thrilled to be recognized by the YWCA for my work as a business professional," said Lapides. "Like this wonderful organization, I have worked all my life to help young women advance in the workplace and become empowered as future leaders."
After growing up in Barrington and graduating from Boston University, Lapides co-founded RPL in 1981 and quickly grew the business into Rhode Island's largest independent real estate company, encompassing five offices, a relocation division, a commercial real estate division, a large support staff, and over 165 agents.
Over the years, Lapides has been an advocate for numerous causes and has strived to improve the quality of life for others throughout the state.
Lapides will be among a distinguished list of 13 women to be recognized at this year's event. Comprised from the fields of industry, culture, and public service, this list of accomplished women include health promoters, educators, community supporters, business advocates, social service leaders, a chief judge, and a multi-instrumentalist.
