This year, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Corridor Business Journal and its Women of Influence awards.
The Women of Influence awards recognize 10 women who have made a difference in the Corridor as role models and leaders in their fields and communities. Nominated by those who have witnessed their impact first-hand, and chosen by a committee of previous winners, this year’s Women of Influence honorees are just as inspiring as their many predecessors.
The CBJ will host the 2024 Women of Influence gala from 5-8:30 p.m. Thursday, May 2, at the Hotel at Kirkwood in Cedar Rapids. Tickets to the event are available now.
The April 8 print issue of the CBJ will feature profiles on each of the winners, and announce our 2024 Emerging Woman of Influence – this award identifies one up-and-coming female leader who has achieved career success and is poised to take on a larger role in the future.
