Since its inception in 2021, the competition has grown into a significant marker of local excellence, with this year’s cycle drawing over 2,000 nominations. The magazine, a women’s lifestyle publication focused on career inspiration and community, serves as a platform to elevate voices across sectors ranging from health and wellness to hospitality and retail.

Winners span diverse categories, including local favorites like Fratelli’s and Madrones for dining, and specialized wellness providers such as Mountain Spirit Yoga and Amber Meadows Chiropractic. The upcoming celebration at Tenth Ward Distilling provides a venue for these honorees to connect and gain recognition for their contributions to the region’s economic and social landscape.
