The Northwest Arkansas Business Journal’s 10th annual Women in Business Awards highlights outstanding women who are impacting the Northwest Arkansas region.

Nominated by readers and chosen by the editorial staff, 10 women are honored each year. From pioneering entrepreneurs to influential executives, the honorees embody the spirit of excellence and resilience.

If we did not select your nominee this year, I encourage you to nominate them again next year. We accept nominations year-round, with a deadline of April 2025. Many nominees will likely become future winners.

This year, we selected these 10 individuals for their leadership, drive and commitment to improving Northwest Arkansas. Their professional achievements, community involvement and civic contributions are vital to our region. I hope you enjoy learning more about them and their perspectives on various topics.

These women will get special recognition from the Business Journal at a networking event on Tuesday (June 18) starting at 5:30 p.m. at The Apollo on Emma in downtown Springdale. I hope to see some of you there.

Congratulations to the 2024 Women in Business honorees.
