“Johnson County organizations are known for advancing women into leadership positions and supporting their personal and professional development,” said Aspire Vice President of Investor Development and Relations, Angela Vandersteen.
“These awards not only bring attention to the great accomplishments of our finalists but the history of women in our business community and what our organizations are doing to create inclusive workplace cultures.”
As a chamber of commerce and an economic development organization, Aspire hopes to use its reach and influence to shine a spotlight on the contributions women make in the business community. The Women Leaders Workshop is a platform created for this very purpose.
Aspire’s 2022 Women Leaders Workshop is presented by Johnson Memorial Hospital. The awards program is presented by Ageless Aesthetics and Hirons.
