Following a review of all nominations, Women in Business will announce this year’s top five finalists during its monthly networking session on Wednesday, June 3 at the Crowne Plaza at Bell Tower in Fort Myers. These five finalists will go on to be recognized during the main event, where one will be named the recipient of this year’s APEX Award.
