Why We Honor Lauren Book

Todd Paton, president of Paton Marketing and incoming president of the Biscayne Bay Kiwanis, will discuss why the Kiwanis have decided to honor Lauren Book, founder and CEO of Lauren’s Kids – an organization dedicated to preventing childhood sexual abuse and healing survivors – as the recipient of the Biscayne Bay Kiwanis Club’s 2014 Michael Shores Citizen of the Year Award.

Book will receive the prestigious award at the 35th Biscayne Bay Gala, October 25, at the Jungle Island Treetop Ballroom. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by a dinner and live auction at 7:30 p.m.

“Lauren Book has done so much for the youth of South Florida, the state and the nation in her efforts to raise awareness of – and prevent – childhood sexual abuse that it is our honor to recognize her and her tireless efforts,” said Biscayne Bay Kiwanis President William Reich.

About Our Guests:

Emme Gisele-Louise Benoit 

Emme graduated from the University of Tennessee with a degree in Supply Chain Management, but deep down, always knew real estate was the path she was meant to take. So, she followed her heart and pursued that passion. Now, she is a Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) student at the University of Florida, a journey that was largely inspired by her father's successful career as a commercial real estate developer.
 Emme’s fascination with real estate isn't just about the industry itself; it's about the impact it has on communities and landscapes. She loves seeing how built spaces come to life, transforming areas and changing the skyline. It's about bringing a vision to reality and witnessing the profound changes that follow. This passion drives her every day and fuels her dedication to the field.
      Currently, she serve as the Co-President of the UF Women's Real Estate Society and as an MSRE ambassador. These roles have given her the incredible opportunity to lead, inspire, and connect with like-minded individuals who are as passionate about real estate as she is. Through these positions, she aims to empower women in the industry, foster a supportive community, and advocate for sustainable and innovative practices in real estate. 
      Emme’s journey in real estate is a testament to following one's passion and making a tangible impact on the world. She is committed to learning, growing, and contributing to the industry in meaningful ways, and she is excited to see where this path will take her.
