Boulder Chamber Celebrates Businesswomen During The 2023 Women Who Light The Community Awards Ceremony
Boulder, Colorado - September 19, 2023 - In an evening filled with inspiration and wisdom, the Boulder Chamber honored six outstanding businesswomen and influential community leaders during its 2023 Women Who Light The Community Awards Ceremony on September 6 at the Embassy Suites.
“As ever, it was an evening filled with cheers and tears as we honor the achievements of Boulder’s businesswoman leaders, many times in the face of adversity, but always with a deeper mission and strong guiding values in mind,” said Boulder Chamber President and CEO John Tayer. “And never do these women speak solely about themselves. Their power, which is a lesson to us all, is in collaboration and equity that brings all voices and talents to the table in search of solutions to the challenges we face, in the business world and in society.”
Crowning over two decades of awards to outstanding women in the area, the Boulder Chamber honors recipients who inspire, connect, and build community through their spirit of hard work and dedication to others. Throughout the ceremony and celebration, attendees and guests listened as friends and family of each honoree shared stories of their achievements, highlighting their passion for changing the world through action and compassion.
