HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) – The director of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders spoke at a Spirit of Women event Tuesday, hosted by Forrest Health.
A luncheon at the Lake Terrace Convention Center had the theme “The Grit Behind the Glam.”
The event featured a keynote presentation from Kelli Finglass, a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader who has led that organization for more than 30 years.
“The name of this event, The Spirit of Women, I’m just a big believer in that, and, so, this day and me being here was just meant to be, as much for me personally, as for the community,” Finglass said. “I hope I can inspire someone.”
The luncheon was the first event of its type since the COVID pandemic.
“(Spirit of Women) had annual events really up until COVID gave us a little setback, so that’s why we’re calling this our comeback event, because it’s our first since COVID,” said Millie Swan, chief administrative officer and vice president of Forrest Health.
