2025 SC Women in Business Awards

Join us at this annual awards celebration on Wednesday, July 16th to celebrate the spirit and culture of Women in Business in South Carolina. Women professionals return to this event year after year to network, share their stories, and find inspiration and ideas to power their journey forward.

These incredible women will be featured in the June/July issues of Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, Charleston Business Magazine, B2B: Pee Dee Business and B2B: The Grand Strand. 

Sponsorship of this event supports a commitment to diversity, and recognition of the impact that women have in our business community. The luncheon offers an opportunity to meet business leaders, share information about your organization and programs, and show appreciation to women employees, clients, and partners by inviting them to attend.
