What is the “Top 25 Women” feature?
Our “Top 25 Women” feature highlights inspiring, accomplished women making an impact in their industries and communities. It’s one of the signature sections of our print and digital magazine.
How does the selection process work?
The selection process happens in two phases. First, nominations are extended exclusively to our members. After this initial round, we open nominations to the public. From there, our editorial team carefully reviews all submissions based on impact, achievements, leadership, and overall story before selecting the final Top 25.
Can I nominate myself or someone else?
Yes! During the public nomination phase, both self-nominations and nominations of others are welcome.
What criteria do you look for in nominees?
We look for women who demonstrate leadership, innovation, community involvement, professional success, and a compelling personal or professional story.
What are the benefits of advertising with your magazine?
Advertisers gain targeted exposure, strong brand alignment with empowering content, and visibility across both print and digital channels.
Featured women have the opportunity to double their visbility and have a mini-mic moment with Authentic Media Co., capturing their story.
What is the magazine launch party?
Our magazine launch party is a signature event celebrating the release of each issue. It brings together featured women, members, advertisers, and community leaders for an evening of connection, recognition, and celebration.
