Meet the 2022 Mainebiz Women to Watch

Each year since 2009, Mainebiz has honored a group of women who have demonstrated leadership in wide-ranging sectors of business, health care and the nonprofit world. To date, the Mainebiz Women to Watch program has honored a total of 68 leaders.

This year’s five Women to Watch are based throughout Maine and range from a chocolate entrepreneur to an immigrants' rights advocate.

A major part of the Mainebiz Women to Watch program is a reception for the honorees. This year, the in-person networking event and awards presentation is scheduled for Sept. 15, at the Westin Portland Harborview Hotel. Click here for more information.
