2014 Minnesota Women Business Owners Hall of Fame Event

Thursday, April 24, 2014
Cargill, Wayzata, MN
5:30 - 9:00 p.m.

Join us as we honor 12 women entrepreneurial leaders who will be inducted into the elite group of the Minnesota Women Business Owners Hall of Fame.

The 2014 Inductees are amazing trailblazers who represent nearly 140 years of Minnesota history. They have overcome challenges and obstacles many thought impossible. Their business savvy and entrepreneurial successes have left a legacy that will impact Minnesota for years to come.

Inductees were selected because they:

  • Made enduring contributions to Minnesota's entrepreneurial community
  • Made an impact on women's entrepreneurial development in Minnesota
  • Had a meaningful connection to Minnesota (place of birth, education, and/or business location)
  • Demonstrated leadership qualities or a spirit of entrepreneurial innovation that can serve as an inspiration to future generations of Minnesota entrepreneurs

Some of these women blazed new trails in non-traditional industries such as construction and manufacturing. Some built million-dollar businesses in hard economies. All passed along their wisdom to their daughters and mentees to make a difference for generations to come.
