The Better Business Bureau’s Women in Business Networking (WiBN) program is thrilled to announce the 2022 Women of Impact honorees, as well as Jeanne Porter Career Achievement Award recipient.
Women of Impact 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 understand we are “BETTER TOGETHER.”
Ann Riegle-Crichton, WiBN executive director, shares, “This year’s honorees are the picture of passion and persistence in changing the world around them for the better. They are supervisors and leaders, but also mentors and supporters who are making an impact on their employees, their customers, their families and their community. They inspire us to join in their endeavors so that we can make an impact too.”

Melissa Cutcher, Technology First, will be the recipient of the 2022 Jeanne Porter Career Achievement Award.

This award is meant to recognize an impactful professional legacy, like that of Jeanne Porter, founder of WiBN.
A celebration for all of these honorees is planned for October 2022.
