brilliance where women blossom and shine. During this unforgettable evening, we’ll be honoring our 2024 WiBN Women to Watch. The formal occasion includes an elegant dinner, music and dancing.

The Women to Watch honor recognizes women in the Miami Valley who are exceptional in their roles and respected in their fields, who are causing more than just a ripple in the public arena and in their communities and who “light a spark” or make an impression. Attendees will also celebrate the efforts of the recipient of the Jeanne Porter Career Achievement Award, as well as the Sandie Geib Ambassador of the Year and the Volunteer of the Year. A list of the honorees is available at https://www.bbb.org/local/0322/top25/honorees.

Sheri Sword, WiBN executive director, says, “Our WiBN Women To Watch Class of 2024 features some dynamic, local women that are doing amazing things. We can’t wait to celebrate them at the gala. Their actions help others bloom and enhances the Miami Valley marketplace. Join us to recognize them.”
