Long before David Letterman made Top Ten lists part of the vernacular; the American Business Women's Association was compiling some impressive lists of its own. Since the early 1950s, ABWA has recognized ten members each year for exceptional achievements. This book contains the stories of The Top Ten for 2008 in their own words. Both inspiring and informational, each chapter gives specific details about triumph over tragedy, victory in the face of challenges, and the enduring power of positive professional and personal relationships. The Top Ten Businesswomen of ABWA represent the association's image of achievement as well as that of our culture - and serve as the personification of success not only for its members, but women everywhere.
