BWomen of Impact to Be Celebrated on Dec. 8
A PROGRAM OF BUSINESSWEST
usinessWest has long recognized Women of Mass Humanities;
the contributions of women within • Sr. Mary Caritas of the Sisters of
 the business community and cre- ated the Women of Impact awards four years ago to further honor
women who have the authority and power to move the needle in their business, are respected for accomplishments within their industries, give back to the community, and are sought out as respected advisors and mentors within their field of influence.
Just like the past four cohorts, the remarkable women in the class of 2022 aren’t only business successes and community leaders; they are, indeed, impactful in ways that reverberate far beyond their office, their sector, and this moment. Crucially, they are creating a legacy for the next generation to build upon, whether it’s by mentoring young, up-and- coming women in their field or providing entire communities with a better chance to succeed in business and in life.
