It takes more than a pandemic to hold back strong women. COVID-19 may have delayed their in-person recognition a year, but with restrictions lifted and COVID-19 numbers under control, Az Business and AZRE magazines’ Most Influential Women in Arizona of 2020 will be honored at a celebratory dinner on  Wednesday, August 25, 2021, from from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Chateau Luxe, 1175 E. Lone Cactus Drive, Phoenix, 85024. The special guest co-host for the event is Lin Sue Cooney, director of community engagement for Hospice of the Valley and respected former Valley news anchor.

To ensure the safety of all in attendance, there will be a limited number of tickets available and the number of people seated at each table has been reduced. For more information about the event or to purchase tickets, click here.

The Most Influential Women in Arizona for 2021 will be announced Wednesday, June 30 (women in commercial real estate) and Thursday, July 1 (women in business) at azbigmedia.com. They will be honored at a dinner and reception on Thursday, August 26, 2021.
