Nominations open for NEA Women in Business awards

Each year, the number of women involved in the business and civic sectors continue to grow, and Talk Business & Politics is set to honor the best of them in Northeast Arkansas. TB&P is now accepting nominations for the fifth class of Women in Business in Northeast Arkansas.

Ritter Communications is the sponsor of the event.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, Aug. 4. TB&P Editor-in-Chief Roby Brock said the organization is ready to honor a new group of women who stand out in the civic and business sectors in the region.

“It’s one of the best things we do as an organization,” Brock said. “In many walks of life, but especially business and politics, women are having a greater and greater influence. This awards program encourages people to nominate women who deserve to be recognized for their outstanding accomplishments across Northeast Arkansas.”

TB&P is looking for women who have demonstrated leadership, initiative, and dedication to pursuing their careers and community service and are likely to continue to do so. Candidates could include, but are not limited to executives, entrepreneurs, politicians, government leaders, nonprofit managers and other professionals.

Nominations can be made at this link. Once the nomination deadline passes, TB&P editors will select 10 candidates.

Past nominees that were not selected are encouraged to have submissions made on their behalf once again. Those selected will be honored at a celebration later this fall.
