The Gulfshore Business article stated, “The women in these pages have taken a variety of approaches to their professions—from translating business acumen into the nonprofit world to fulfilling a personal vision to simply recognizing and filling a particular need—but each has found a path to excellence in her own way.”

The article goes on to say, “As they’ve risen to the top of their respective fields, all of these women have, through extra effort and dedication, also made substantial contributions outside their offices, improving the greater community through leadership and volunteerism.”
