The Better Business Bureau’s Women in Business Networking (WiBN) program continued its tradition of excellence with the 2024 Women to Watch Awards, celebrating 25 remarkable women who are transforming our business landscape and strengthening our community. The prestigious ceremony, held at the Mandalay Banquet Center in Dayton, Ohio, showcased the incredible impact these leaders are making across various sectors.
Honoring Excellence and Impact
The Women to Watch Awards recognize professional women who go beyond individual success to create lasting positive change. This year’s honorees exemplify WiBN’s 2024 theme, “Prepare To Propel,” through their commitment to:
- Actively challenging the status quo
- Improving community engagement
- Developing and mentoring emerging talent
- Advocating for women’s advancement in business
“The Women To Watch honorees are amazing women that model the way for other women in our marketplace,” shares Sheri Sword, WiBN Executive Director. “They are making a difference in our community through their actions as they live, work, play and volunteer.”
A Legacy of Leadership
The Better Business Bureau, through its WiBN program, has established these awards as a cornerstone recognition of women’s achievements in business and community service. Each honoree demonstrates not just professional excellence, but also the vital importance of collaborative leadership and mentorship in building stronger communities.
