The "roar" from the April 21st "Hear Me Roar" Women in Business Leadership and Awards Luncheon produced by SRQ Media could be heard from North Port all the way through Palmetto as this year's winners and finalists were announced at a sold-out lunch at The Francis in Downtown Sarasota. Kicked off by Keynote Speaker entrepreneur and Silicon Valley darling Anna Zornosa and founder of Ruby Ribbon with her message of passion for the team, the Women in Business Initiative recognized this year's recipient of the "Hear Me Roar" Trailblazer Award, author, philanthropist and former editor in chief of Town & Country magazine Pamela Fiori. Her top 10 tips for success were one of the event's most treasured take-aways. Once the awards ceremony was underway, stellar women leaders from diverse regional industries were revealed as the WIB Judge's selections for induction into the 2016 Leadership Circle. Share in the celebration of empowerment with photos from the event.
