The leaders were recommended by their professional peers and recognized as a result of their extraordinary skills and leadership roles within their respective fields.
"I am thrilled to be honored as one of WELD's Women You Should Know!" said Clark. "Giving back to the community through my work with Needlestack Jobs has been a rewarding experience for me and I hope Central Ohio will benefit from the flextime job opportunities we have made available."
