2020 Women in Business Awards

This year we recognize 15 remarkable women who are making a significant difference within their organization and the community. 

This year's winners come from diverse backgrounds and industries. 

They range from executives in the TV, nonprofit and banking sectors to lawyers and entrepreneurs. 

Our winners also include a leading college researcher, accounting pros and a corporate vice president. 

The honorees demonstrate business savvy, confidence in themselves and their organizations, and a strong track record of professional success.

And like any good leaders, they've also had to adapt to a changing environment. 

Our Women in Business event was originally scheduled for May, but was postponed because of concerns over the coronavirus pandemic. 

So, while each of our honorees are excited to receive this recognition they are also leading their organizations through turbulent times. 

We wish them, and all of our readers good luck and good health.
