The theme for this year’s event is “Fire & Ice” as we’re honoring women who burn brightly and shine like ice. During this unforgettable evening, we’ll be honoring the 2023 WiBN Women to Watch. The formal occasion includes an elegant dinner, music and dancing.
The Women to Watch honor recognizes women in the Miami Valley who are exceptional in their roles and respected in their fields, who are causing more than just a ripple in the public arena and in their communities and who “light a spark” or make an impression. Attendees will also celebrate the efforts of the recipient of the Jeanne Porter Career Achievement Award. A list of the honorees is available at https://www.bbb.org/local/0322/top25/honorees.
Sheri Sword, WiBN executive director, says, “We are looking forward to celebrating the achievements of the Women to Watch Class of 2023. They are great role models for other women in our marketplace as they strive to put their best foot forward always personally and professionally. They are calmly and coolly blazing a trail for others to follow. We can’t wait to embrace this year’s theme in their honor.”
The event is sponsored by many local organizations, including Dayton 24/7 Now (WKEF/WRGT), iHeart Radio, The Chic Guide, The Mandalay Banquet & Event Center, Prime Time Party Rental and Party Pleasers.
