Each year, BizTimes and Her magazines honor four local women who embody leadership, innovation, making a difference and making an impact believed to broaden as they continue their work.

Nominated by peers and members of the community, it is never an easy decision, as so many phenomenal women are brought to our attention, year after year. It speaks to the incredible wealth of these movers and shakers among us and how fortunate we are to have them in our community.

This year, we honored our 2024 recipients with an award ceremony and breakfast on Oct. 2, at the Diamond Jo Casino Harbor Room.

Learn more about Woman of the Year Pam Jochum, Woman of Innovation Dawn Lueken, Woman Who Makes a Difference Alycia Willenbring and Woman to Watch Ivonne Simmonds-Fals.
