The highpowered nine women on these pages represent the best our community has to offer. These women are making waves and building fortunes. They are trailblazers, warriors and myth busters. They are redefining what it means to be successful. They are playing the game of life as it is meant to be played — with perspicacity, humility and grace. Not content to merely rack up awards and accolades, their focus is on the next strategic move, the next accomplisment, the next goal. These women are guiding their companies and our country toward a destiny that will allow us to reap untold benefits in the future. Our community is immeasurably richer thanks to the service of these consummate professionals. Share their stories with your friends and family, and especially, the little girls in your lives, so that they will know that they too can be like Faith, Valerie, Fay, McGhee, Stella, Cheryle, Robin, Desiree and Roni. –p.d. lee
