Prestigious Awards Program Introduces List of Honorees

CARY, N.C., Jan. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Monica Smiley, Publisher and CEO of Enterprising Women magazine, has announced the winners and finalists (champions) of the 2024 Enterprising Women of the Year Awards, an annual tribute to the world's top women entrepreneurs. Both the Enterprising Women of the Year Award Winners and Enterprising Women of the Year Champions will be recognized at the 22nd Annual Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration & Conference, to be held from Sunday, April 7 to Tuesday, April 9 at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.

The Enterprising Women of the Year Awards is widely considered one of the most prestigious recognition programs for women business owners. To win, nominees must demonstrate that they have fast-growth businesses, mentor or actively support other women and girls involved in entrepreneurship and stand out as leaders in their communities. Many of the honorees also serve as leaders of the key organizations that support the growth of women's entrepreneurship.

Award winners were recognized in seven categories this year: annual sales revenues of more than $100 million; annual sales revenues of more than $25 million and up to $100 million; annual sales revenues of more than $10 million and up to $25 million; annual sales revenues of more than $5 million and up to $10 million; annual sales revenues of more than $2 million and up to $5 million; annual sales revenues of more than $1 million and up to $2 million; and annual sales revenues of up to $1 million.

For the Champion award category, all revenue levels are represented. While the Enterprising Women of the Year Award winners are receiving a once-in-a-lifetime award and may not apply again in future years, Champions may apply again to earn the Enterprising Women of the Year Award Winner designation.
