11 Years of Honoring Alamance County’s

Outstanding Women Leaders

The Founders’ Award is given by the Women’s Resource Center of Alamance County to female leaders/businesswomen who demonstrate the characteristics of our Founders by providing outstanding contributions in the areas of mentoring, community development, philanthropy, and business.

The Rising Star Award is given to the most deserving nominees under age 40 who may be earlier in their careers and community involvement but already demonstrate leadership in these areas.
