The finalists and award recipients will be honored at an awards luncheon on Thursday, September 12, 2013, at the Grand America Hotel.

It’s an honor to be recognized as a finalist among this group of dynamic women.”

Over the past six years the WTC has honored 90 women, 15 university students and sponsored over 100 high school students for the awards helping to inspire the next generation of STEM focused students.
