Each year the Pennsylvania’s Best 50 Women in Business program honors 50 of the state’s most dynamic and aspiring women business leaders.
A program of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) and the business journals from across the state, it serves to highlight the women’s contributions to business and the community, and salutes their ability to overcome obstacles in non-traditional work environments.
An independent panel of judges selects the 50 women who are making strides in their fields and their communities.
In addition to being honored at an evening reception, the winners are profiled in a special supplement to the Central Penn Business Journal, Eastern Pennsylvania Business Journal, Northeast Pennsylvania Business Journal, Pennsylvania Business Central and the Pittsburgh Business Times.
