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.
