Today it isn’t any easier, but we are proud to see how the awards have grown and our judges include past winners! Many women in Greater Prince William give of themselves to strengthen our community, leaving their marks in the business world and serving as inspirations to others. Join us as we celebrate our 2021 winners and nominees. Register here: princewilliamliving.com/influentialwomen-awards-ceremony/
