This category is also for small business owners and social enterprises who may have started a business driven by an innovative idea or a passion for service and whose surpluses are reinvested in the community. Someone who has gone beyond the call of duty to devote time, energy, and resources to advocate for those who need a voice, or support the organization she represents or works for.

They are magnificent women doing extraordinary work motivating next-generation leaders," - Marily Mondejar, FWN CEO.
