NON-PROFIT FEMALE LEADERS
Women in Business always looks forward to recognizing the top female nonprofit talent and leadership throughout our 23-county region with our annual Top Nonprofit Female Leaders list. These dynamic and engaged women in central Pennsylvania were selected by our editorial team from the numerous nominations sent in by local business leaders, chambers of commerce and you, our loyal readers. The organizations and causes they represent cover a wide and diverse range of services, institutions and advocacy. Each selflessly fills a unique role in their community. We feel privileged to honor them.
We’re sure you will find their individual stories fascinating and you may be surprised by how they’ve impacted the lives around them and the central Pennsylvania region. We hope you’ll be inspired to get involved with a local nonprofit or make a donation to a worthy cause you find here. Join us in celebrating these women who, through their tireless efforts and dedication, are leading their nonprofits to great success.
