“There are so many outstanding women leaders in the Greater Akron and Northeast Ohio regions,” said Dr. Jennifer Savitski, Board President of Women’s Network. “We’re thrilled by the opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of women, to support their personal leadership journeys, and to bring to light the ways they inspire other women in our community who are embarking on their own leadership journeys.”
