Trini Mendenhall-Royalty was named 2024 Lifetime of Substance Honoree at the 2024 Women of Substance Luncheon. The event, held at The Post Oak Hotel, was chaired by former honorees Paula Sutton and April McGee and raised more than $300,000 for this year’s beneficiary, Houston reVision, an organization that serves juveniles involved in the criminal justice system. The Women of Substance Event was created by Paul-David Van Atta in 2017 to honor women who have demonstrated their commitment to philanthropy and volunteering in the community. The 2024 honorees are Lara Bell, Chree Boydstun, The Honorable Theresa Chang, Tena Faust, Melanie Lawson, Tama Lundquist, Marian McClendon, Sneha Merchant, Edna Meyer-Nelson, Leila Perrin, Heidi Rockecharlie, and Jerre Williams.
