Celebrating 100 Women Making Moves, Making Money, Opening Doors, and Creating Impact.

The SuccessHER 100 is an annual recognition honoring extraordinary women whose leadership, innovation, influence, and commitment to impact are transforming businesses, industries, communities, and generations.

These are the founders, executives, creatives, educators, advocates, investors, innovators, and community leaders who are not waiting for permission to lead.

They are building the rooms.

Creating the opportunities.

Changing the conversations.

And bringing other women with them.

Applications for the inaugural SuccessHER 100 is now Open.

Join the priority list to receive application dates, eligibility information, ceremony announcements, and exclusive updates.

Recognition That Goes Beyond the List

Being named to the SuccessHER 100 is more than receiving an award.

It is an opportunity to have your leadership recognized, your story amplified, your work introduced to new audiences, and your impact celebrated within a powerful community of women, partners, media platforms, and decision-makers.

Each year, we will recognize 100 women whose accomplishments demonstrate:

  • Leadership

  • Innovation

  • Business excellence

  • Community impact

  • Influence

  • Resilience

  • Collaboration

  • Legacy-building

The SuccessHER 100 exists to make sure that women doing meaningful work are not overlooked, under-celebrated, or left out of the rooms where opportunities are created.

Top Honors

In addition to being named to the SuccessHer 100,

five exceptional women will receive our highest distinctions of the year. These premier honors recognize extraordinary leadership, meaningful impact, bold innovation, community influence, and legacy-building achievement.
