Honoring outstanding women in business
|
We're so excited to be honoring outstanding women in Asheville's business community at our WomanUP Celebration on Nov. 28th.
While we will be giving awards to three of these women, the list of the nominees is impressive. All of these women deserve recognition for their hard work, dedication to advancing women in business and for their contributions to our community.
We hope you'll join us at the WomanUP Celebration to recognize all of these nominees and to honor our award winners.
The event features retired NASA engineer Dr.Christine Darden, who was highlighted in the book “Hidden Figures,” along with local entrepreneur Troylyn Ball of Asheville Distilling Co. Each will talk of how they overcame their obstacles to achieve success as professional women.
