Zonta Recognizes DLE Founder Linda Dulye for Developing Leaders of Impact

Dulye & Co. President and Founder Linda Dulye, who 16 years ago established a philanthropic organization to develop and connect emerging leaders in the Berkshires and beyond, has been honored for her achievements by the Zonta Club of Berkshire County.

After receiving nominations from the public, Zonta Club members this month voted on their final choices of Berkshire County women whose outstanding work is building a better world for women and girls.

Linda was selected for “her work developing leaders of impact among four generations of women.” She joins five other women who have made significant contributions in their fields and to the Berkshire community and are receiving this annual award.

“I am truly honored to receive this recognition from the public and Zonta,” notes Linda, who joined the Berkshire Zonta Club in 2023. “My passion and energy are tireless for advancing the economic development of the region through an accomplished, diverse talent pool.”

She adds, “Through my personal underwriting of the Dulye Leadership Experience (DLE) since 2008, hundreds of fee-free educational and networking programs have been produced to foster inspiration, engagement and impact. Our members keep soaring. Five of the 40 winners of the 2024 Berkshire 40 Under Forty program are exceptional leaders in the DLE community.”

Linda will be recognized at the Zonta International Women’s Day celebration dinner on March 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the Berkshire Hills Country Club in Pittsfield, MA. The event is open to the public.
