For the ninth year, Idaho Business Review (IBR) will salute 50 successful women in business across public, private and charitable sectors. A panel consisting of past honorees and Idaho women business leaders selected the 50 from more than 150 nominees. The women of the year were chosen for their leadership skills, achievements, community involvement and for reaching their goals.
Among the 50 are two College of Business and Economics employees, Dusty Bodie, management professor and Denise Dunlap, executive director of TechHelp.
“Once again, we applaud 50 women for exemplifying what it takes to be a leader,” said IBR Vice President and Publisher Sean Evans. “It is exciting that Idaho has these women in its midst. They are making their businesses and organizations – and our state – more successful and profitable.”
On Feb. 18, the 50 will be lauded at an awards event gala. At the evening’s end, one will be recognized as outstanding honoree and “Woman of the Year.”
