In this, our special Women in Leadership issue of the Business Magazine, we’ll highlight many of the resources available to help women in the workforce realize their leadership potential. We’ll hear from IMPACT Luncheon speaker Ann Scott of Erie Insurance on the importance of fostering motivation, team building and talent and how it can impact your business and community.

We’ll also hear from Marcia DePaula of regional law firm Steptoe & Johnson, PLLC, about the representation of women in the workforce and particularly in the legal field. We’ll also showcase many of the women leaders in the region who are making a difference within their organizations every day.

Plus, in our 2019-2020 Recognition Ceremonies section, we’re proud to celebrate the many leaders in supervisory, team leader, computer and HR roles who recently graduated from the MBA’s regionally recognized training programs.
