Academy of Women of Achievement
ON A MISSION TO CELEBRATE SUCCESSES
These 293 women—honored as Women of Achievement over the last 37 years—come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. But each shares a deep commitment to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for women in central Ohio. Today, many are still actively doing just that: acting as leaders in their workplaces and communities.
