Yellowhammer Multimedia is proud to announce the fourth annual Women of Impact Awards, a celebration of strong women who shape and propel Alabama.
This year’s exemplary class of honorees is stacked with respected leaders, advisers and mentors who empower others through the lives they devote and trails they blaze across non-profit, business and governmental sectors.
From renowned medical experts to small business owners and innovators — soldiers on the front lines against COVID-19, to champions fighting for a better Alabama every day – these women are a force in our great state and we are delighted to tell their stories.
These honorees will be featured on Yellowhammer News beginning September 1. We will tell their stories one by one each weekday.
The AlabamaWomen.org website is dedicated solely to the awards. This “hall of fame” celebrates each year of the Woman of Impact Awards and highlights each unique story for posterity.
