Overview

The Stevie Awards for Women in Business recognize women executives, entrepreneurs, and the organizations they lead across a wide range of business and leadership categories. They are run by the Stevie Awards, a long-running international business awards organization, and companies pursue them for brand credibility, recruiting/retention value, and third-party recognition from a known judging process.
