As we count down to the 10th Annual Women of Achievement Awards presented by PNC, we're taking a look back at how it all began.

In this video, SWCRC President & CEO Ron Hinrichs and Women of Achievement Committee Chair Ronnie Ruelle share the story behind the founding of the Women of Achievement Awards. How the idea came to life, where it all began, and the vision that started it all 10 years ago. Join us on October 9 as we celebrate a decade of recognizing extraordinary women who have made a lasting impact on our business community and region.
