NEW JERSEY MONTHLY October 2014 LWE 1 @leadingwomenentrepreneurs @lweus @LindaWellbrock

The Leading Women Entrepreneurs (LWE) Initiative was developed for the purpose of recognizing and connecting female business owners who exhibit outstanding performance in four areas: Market Potential, Innovation, Community Involvement and Advocacy for Women.

Hundreds of nominations were received from women entrepreneurs who are all accomplished, intelligent and inspired by their work. The 150 LWE finalists who were selected are women who together, support numerous non-profits, are employing thousands, generating millions and represent a variety of industries. A list of the Phase One Finalists is on page 19 of the LWE section. Phase One finalists are automatically submitted for Phase Two of the competition where our Advisory Board helps to select the Top 25. The Top 25 are then celebrated at the annual LWE Recognition Evening which will be held on December 4, 2014 at Fiddlers Elbow Country Club.

The LWE initiative is an opportunity to showcase these dynamic women and their stories to the next generation of business owners. We hope that learning about these powerful journeys is enough to inspire many others.

Through our media partners, events, global retreats and membership we hope to spotlight women courageous enough to imagine a better life and then make it happen. We honor their innovation, drive and commitment as essential to the continued growth of American business.

It is with great honor that we present the 2014 Leading Women Entrepreneur finalists. They are women who have demonstrated the value of leadership and the heights to which it can take a person, a community or even a nation.

Join us in our mission and nominate a woman who is making a difference.
