Readers were asked to make up to three nominations per the following categories: Executive Suite, Rising Stars, Mentors and Innovators. The “Influential Women” process is not designed to be a vote or a ranking. Nominations were reviewed and categorized by Vision Monday’s editors. The “Chosen Because…” selections are drawn from the nominations submitted for each candidate. Honorees are organized alphabetically by category.
