Women on the Rise
Since 2018, BRA has hosted an annual awards luncheon to celebrate female and non-binary entrepreneurs. 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. Save the date and stay tuned for what’s coming up on March 14th, 2024!
