The Capital Region is home to a flourishing community of companies, innovators and leaders—particularly women leaders. Each year, Business Report publishes its annual Influential Women in Business issue, which honors talented female leaders who hold influential roles in a variety of sectors, including manufacturing, law, technology, finance, health care, government, education and nonprofit work.
