Meet Northern Colorado Women of Influence

Bankers, lawyers, business owners, doctors, college presidents, investment advisers – what do these people have in common? Just over three decades ago, the ones featured in these pages were not allowed, by law, to hold credit in their own names. Because they are women.

As you read through these profiles, you will meet some truly impressive people with outstanding achievements, and it’s easy to forget the unique challenges women in leadership still face. That’s why the Northern Colorado Business Report has chosen to honor 10 of the region’s most influential women – and one really good guy-friend – this year.

While we have selected an Outstanding Mentor for this first-ever NCBR event, mentoring is another common value shared by all our honorees, who support women at the beginning of their careers by lending the sort of helping hand they found – or maybe didn’t – when they were just starting out.

I’d like to thank our sponsors, whose names and logos appear elsewhere on this page, for supporting this project as it’s just starting out. I’d also like to thank our evaluation panel, who had the unenviable job of choosing just 11 individuals from among the nearly six dozen nominees we received, and everyone who took the time to make a nomination – and lobby for their favorites. And special thanks to our Marketing Director De Dahlgren for making the idea become a reality.

Sincerely,

Jeff Nuttall,
