Grand Forks – Three professionals from Grand Forks have gained mention from Prairie Business as successful women in business.
The magazine, a branch of the Grand Forks Herald, appoints the 25 best women in business each year. Recognition highlights some of the best women’s business leaders from North Dakota, South Dakota and Western Minnesota.
Among those who win the difference this year are Amy Haagenson, CPA and partner in Brady Martz; Amanda Livers-Douglas, Assistant Director for Integrated Suburface Projects at the Energy Research and Environment Center at the University of North Dakota; and Katie Harrington, owner and business development manager at Steffes, LLC.
“Look around and it is easy to see why we celebrate the success of the business of leadership women every year. We all know people who can be easily on this list. We can make it bigger and populate it with even more quality leaders that hold so many important roles in our communities,” said Business Publisher Courie Wenzel. “As it is, we have kept it at 25, and once again, I feel like this group perfectly portrays the type of people there making a change in business and the economy of our region.”
The last list is determined by the Prairie business staff, who consider nominations sent by other business leaders and, in many cases, by staff and collaborators.
The full list of this year’s top 25 women in business can be found on the Prairie Business website. The content of the magazine is not behind a payment and digital reconciliations are free.
