Women of Excellence Winners
This year, we’re recognizing the amazing women in our business community through a new set of awards called Women of Excellence. These awards are broken up into eight categories, seven of which are industry specific: education, finance, health care, hospitality, public service, real estate, and retail. They recognize women who seek out ways to grow in their industry, mentor other women, and serve in the community. The last category is professional excellence, which is given out to a woman who’s made a great impact on the community and in her field of work.
Join with us in celebrating the inaugural recipients!
