Individuals were carefully selected out of a group of their peers because they represent the very best, the best talent, the best leadership and the highest commitment to excellence in their fields.

Women have always been leaders. Our daily lives affirm this, as we perfect the art of balance, consistently rise to the challenge and mysteriously manage to squeeze just a few more moments out of our day. Magic 107.7 and Orlando Sentinel felt is was time to give credit where it�s due for the women pioneers who make a positive impact on the Central Florida community.
