Since its inception in 1953, ABWA has recognized hundreds of women for the coveted award, the Top Ten Business Women of ABWA. This award is intended to underscore a member’s professional accomplishments (career advancement and academic achievement), contributions to her community and engagement in ABWA.

 

The Top Ten Business Women of ABWA are selected by three business women from the Westminster, Colorado area whereas the American Business Woman of ABWA is selected by a panel of peers at the National Women’s Leadership Conference. The 2021 American Business Woman of ABWA will be announced at the 2020 National Women’s Leadership Conference in Westminster, Colorado.

These women are the past Top Ten recipients from EMC. In ABWA, past Top Ten Business Women are known as Forever Tens.
