The World Affairs Council of NH (WACNH) will unveil the winner of its inaugural International Business Woman of the Year award at a ceremony on Tuesday, March 8.
The online event will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The presentation can be watched at www.wacnh.org.
International business plays a large role in the NH economy, with businesses exporting to over 180 countries around the world. Those businesses exported a total of $5.5 billion worth of goods, with another $6.93 billion imported to the state.
Presented in partnership with Business NH Magazine, the Center for Women and Enterprise, the NH Office of International Commerce, and Firebrand International, this International Business Woman of the Year award is designed to recognize the important contributions women have made to this field.
“While [it is] clear that women-led businesses are valued here in the state, they still lack recognition when it comes to their contributions to the internationalization of New Hampshire,” says Tim Horgan, WACNH executive director. “This award looks to not only recognize the winner each year, but to provide role models for young women in the state to consider a career path they may not have seen themselves in before.”
