Grand Forks – Three Grand Forks professionals were mentioned in Business Prairie as women who succeed in business.
The magazine, a subsidiary of the Grand Forks Herald, appoints its 25 best women in business each year. Recognition highlights some of the best women business leaders in Northern Dakota, South Dakota and Western Minnesota.
Among those who win the distinction this year are Amy Haagenson, CPA and Brady Martz’s partner; Amanda Livers-Douglas, deputy director of underground projects integrated into the Energy & Environmental Research Research Center of the Northern Dakota University; And Katie Harrington, owner and manager of commercial development at Steffes, LLC.
“Look around you and it is easy to see why we are celebrating the commercial success of women leaders each year. We all know people who could easily be on this list. We could enlarge it and fill it with even more quality leaders who occupy so many important roles in our communities,” said the Prairie business publisher, Korrie Wenzel. “As it stands, we kept it at 25, and once again, I have the impression that this group perfectly portrays the kind of people who make a difference in the business and the economy of our region.”
The final list is determined by the staff of Prairie companies, who considers the appointments sent by other business leaders and, in many cases, staff and colleagues.
The complete list of the 25 best women in this year can be found on the website of meadow companies. The contents of the magazine is not the cause of a paid wall and the digital subscriptions are free.
