Prairie Business: Top 25 Women in Business
THIS WEEK, Prairie Business magazine announced its 2023 Top 25 Women in Business. Recipients were selected through a nomination process that emphasized professional achievement, community contributions and volunteerism. The 25 women listed come from a variety of industries and professions. Each has made exceptional contributions in their chosen careers and communities.
"When I look through the compiled list of the winners, one thing really sinks in: That our region has so many incredible professionals doing great work in a wide variety of fields and professional sectors," said Prairie Business Publisher Korrie Wenzel. "And then I realize that these are just a sampling of the top professionals in the area. Each year, there are another 25, but we could easily highlight 50 or more. It really is impressive, and it's our privilege to be able to tell our readers about it."
The Chamber would like to congratulate the 25 women across Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota who were recognized for this award. We thank you for your leadership in our region and in your organizations. We would also like to give a?special?congratulations to our own President & CEO Shannon Full for being recognized on this list.
