Outstanding Women in Business

The Outstanding Women in Business Awards celebrate the success and achievements of women across New Hampshire’s diverse business community.

The Outstanding Women in Business Awards celebrate New Hampshire women who have truly excelled, not only in their professional lives but also as leaders and role models in their communities. While many of these women come from different industries and walks of life, they share several traits — a strong sense of self, a success-driven work ethic and the extraordinary accomplishments to show for it. Their commitment, vision and talents make them true leaders in their chosen fields.

Nominations open in April!

Nominations for the 2026 Outstanding Women in Business awards open this April.

Nominees can be in traditional fields of business, others breaking the rules of their industries. They can be high level executives in profit-making companies, visionary entrepreneurs who are blazing new trails or leaders of nonprofit organizations or public agencies who are truly making a difference. What candidates should share is a strong sense of self, a success driven work ethic and the extraordinary accomplishments to show for it.
