2016 Women in Business Awards Supplement

Nominees were asked to share their insights with our judges on six key question areas:  how they define success, what peral experiences have motivated and inspired their profesional success, how they have guided transformational change in a rapidly-evolving marketplace, what trends concern them the most, who they would bring back from history to spend a morning with and what they would write in a letter to their younger selves. Our judges scored each nominee based on their responses to these above questions as they related to personal integrity, expertise, community engagement and change agents.
 

Congratulations to the 2016 Leadership Circle
