Women & Business Awards Program
For more than 20 years, Pittsburgh Magazine’s Women & Business Awards program has celebrated the leadership, innovation, and impact of women across the region. Four times a year, we honor four exceptional women who are making a difference in businesses, organizations, and communities of all sizes. Each honoree is featured in Pittsburgh Magazine and recognized at an exclusive quarterly networking event attended by peers, colleagues, and community leaders.
Each quarterly event also gives back to the community. We partner with a nonprofit beneficiary, which receives 50% of that event’s ticket proceeds — extending the program’s impact beyond recognition and networking to directly support meaningful causes in Pittsburgh.
