2024 Outstanding Women in Business
The Outstanding Women in Business awards have long been one of WBJ’s hardest honors to win. Typically, more than 50 women are nominated for the award, and yet only 10-20% of those nominees are selected as winners. Many, many worthy professionals don’t make the cut, and each year brings another round of truly excellent nominees. To win the award, the women have to be truly outstanding.
