“We are truly fortunate to have the opportunity to recognize this outstanding group of women,” said Thomas Curtin, publisher of NJBIZ. “As business and community leaders, they are constantly redefining success within and outside the business arena.”
NJBIZ and the program sponsors will honor this year’s winners during an awards reception and ceremony on Monday, March 21, 2016 from 6 PM – 8:30 PM at The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset, NJ. The honorees will also be highlighted in a special supplement to NJBIZ.
