The Daughters of Penelope are proud to announce Dody Tsiantar as the 2026 Salute to Women Award recipient.

Life is not limited to one career path—especially when you have the courage to open the doors that appear before you. Dody Tsiantar, a Greek American born in Fort Lauderdale, FL, exemplifies this truth with a remarkable 30-year career spanning journalism, teaching, publishing entrepreneurship, and, most recently, photography.

Ms. Tsiantar will be presented with the prestigious 2026 Salute to Women award during the Daughters of Penelope Supreme Convention in Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at the Sheraton Philadelphia Hotel, in conjunction with the ongoing 250th Celebration of the United States in that city, this coming July.

Your generous donations to the DOP Charitable Foundation Inc. supporting the Salute to Women event will help ensure this celebration is a memorable and a fitting tribute to this exceptional honoree. Donations can be submitted via the form linked below.
