Women Embracing Business proudly celebrated our 2025 Woman of the Year, Leisa Piper! 🌟

Our annual luncheon at the McMill Building brought together Leisa’s family, coworkers, past honorees, and an incredible community of women who showed up to honor her impact.

We were inspired by Paula Alder’s heartfelt tribute and her message, “Who You’re Meant to Be.” Everyone left feeling encouraged, empowered, and ready to shine their light, just as Leisa has done for so many years.

Congratulations again to Leisa Piper, our 2025 WEB Woman of the Year!
