“BRAVA! Women Business Achievement award recipients are not only selected and recognized for their success in growing a company, but for demonstrating leadership throughout the Greater Baltimore community. This is a unique combination of attributes that any CEO should be inspired by. We are honored to recognize Wanda Alexander as one of Greater Baltimore’s leaders,” said Jaime Park, publisher of SmartCEO.
Washington SmartCEO magazine is a regional “growing company” publication. SmartCEO believes that a “growing company” is really determined by the spirit, drive and dynamics of a company’s owners and managers, rather than by the size of its building, the number of its employees, or its sales volume. Each month, a variety of businesses in the greater Baltimore and Washington area turn to SmartCEO for features, case-study advice and trend analysis, all with a uniquely local flavor.
