\u201cI am thrilled that Sally Hybl, a longtime champion of the arts and UCCS, has been named the 2022 Unstoppable Woman,\u201d said Venkat Reddy, Chancellor of UCCS. \u201cSally joins a remarkable group of women who are deeply committed to our community and who inspire and strengthen those around them. Sally shares her time, talent and leadership with the world to create meaningful connections and opportunities for so many. The Colorado Springs we know and love has been shaped by her incredible efforts over the years.
