Women on the Rise

Since 2018, BRA has hosted an annual social impact luncheon & awards luncheon to celebrate female and non-binary entrepreneurs and benefit a non-profit organization. Each year we honor three individuals who are either trailblazers and have paved the way for other women, or who are “up-and-comers” successfully following in their footsteps. 

The Awards
