“These are the women who make things happen in the Treasure Valley business world,” WCA Executive Director Bea Black said. “It is a great honor to be called a TWIN, and we’re so grateful to be able to recognize 51 new TWINs in this special year.”
Along with honoring the TWIN nominees, Idaho Sen. Cherie Buckner-Webb will receive the 2013 Joyce Stein Award for her efforts to grow and advance women in the Treasure Valley.
