2024 Women To Watch honorees

2024 WiBN Women To Watch

November 16, 2023 By Lisa Grigsby

The Better Business Bureau’s Women in Business Networking (WiBN) program is thrilled to announce the 2024 Women To Watch honorees, as well as Jeanne Porter Career Achievement Award recipient.

WiBN Women To Watch honorees are dynamic professional women who have been recognized for inspiring and encouraging those around them to actively challenge the status quo, working to improve their communities, develop their employees and advocate for women in general. Rather than being content with others just watching them work, these women involve those around them in their endeavors thereby increasing their collective impact. They help others ”Prepare To Propel”, which is also the WiBN theme for 2024.

Sheri Sword, WiBN executive director, shares, “The Women To Watch honorees are amazing women that model the way for other women in our marketplace.
