To determine the Top CEOs, WE USA reached out to the regional partner organizations of the Women's Business Enterprise National Council and business leaders throughout the country to identify women business owners who have achieved measurable success, advanced innovation in their industries, improved their communities and contributed substantial time and effort to helping other WBEs.
