WOMEN
OF THE
YEAR
F
ive years into our Women of the Year awards, we're very proud to say that the
quality of winners, runners-up and applicants hasn't dipped an iota. In fact,
we expanded the awards from last year's one runner-up per category to two,
solely so that we could honour more of the incredibly impressive applicants
who came in. Still, it was a challenge to narrow it down to one winner and two runners-
up in each category (other than rising stars, which kept its traditional three winners).
That's a testament to the province's female talent, who we've been lucky enough to
experience and connect with over the past five years. Of course, we couldn't have done
it without our judging panel (p.37), a powerhouse team of four who care about the
magazine and the people we feature in it. It's an absolute pleasure to have them on our
side for this daunting task. Without further ado, we're pleased to introduce you to the
2024 BCBusiness Women of the Year.
