Greater Niagara Chamber of Commerce

Since 2000, the Women in Business Awards have recognized the outstanding contributions of women in business throughout Niagara. The full list of recipients is below.

From 2000 through 2009, a single woman was recognized as the Business Woman of the Year. Starting in 2010, the awards were expanded to recognize women across multiple categories. In 2014, the first Lifetime Achievement Award was bestowed to Sheryl Wherry and in the years since the Women in Business Awards have continued to recognize both nominees and bestowed recipients across a diverse range of business categories.
