Women to Watch are business owners, CEOs, presidents and top executives who have a proven track record of success and who are trailblazers and mentors.
On Thursday, Sept. 15, Mainebiz honored its 2011 Women to Watch at a reception at the Holiday Inn By the Bay in Portland. More than 200 people turned out to celebrate this year's five honorees: Louise Jonaitis of Saunders Bros. at Locke Mills, Colleen Hilton of VNA Home Health & Hospice, Beth Shissler of Sea Bags, Patricia Quinn of the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority and Danielle Ripich of the University of New England.
