Held at the Avalon Manor in Merrillville, IN, the event delivered great results with some 550 people in attendance. Women were honored in 11 fields including business, non-profit, and political, among others.
Influential Women of NWI distinguished 100 nominees and 22 winners total, benefiting the United Way organizations of Lake and Porter County.
Barb Greene, reflecting on the achievement, states "I'm grateful to Diversified Marketing Strategies and Andrea Pearman for having the idea of this tremendous event to honor women in NWI. I was overwhelmed when I walked in the door to see that there were over 500 attendees at this inaugural event."
Greene thanked mentor Gene Diamond, CEO, Franciscan Alliance, Northern Indiana Region, along with Sisters of the Franciscan Alliance. "This is an extreme honor for me, being born and raised in NWI and working for the Franciscan Alliance. If not for them, I would not have been able to accomplish some of the things I've done."
Andrea M. Pearman, president of Diversified Marketing Strategies, a full-service marketing communications agency headquartered in Crown Point, IN, states "We created this event to encourage, support, and celebrate our female business leaders in NWI."
"We are honored to bring together such an accomplished group of women to share their successes and facilitate networking between the real movers and shakers of our business communities," added Pearman. Building Indiana News, which is also a sponsor of the event, will cover the celebration in their third quarter issue.
Thanks Barb for all that you do for the Franciscan Alliance and the community at large!
