PRINTABLE NOMINATION FORM (.PDF)

Private sector businesses are key to our state’s job creation strategies. We are fortunate to have many women who have started a business and now employ their fellow Wisconsinites. I hope that these nominees can serve as role models to other women who are considering opening a business and creating jobs.  
                                                                                        Governor Scott Walker

Women-owned businesses are leading the way in our new economy. As our state strives to regain our economic strength, it’s critical that we recognize the leadership these women have demonstrated in running their own businesses and creating family sustaining jobs.  They are truly role models for taking an all-hands-on-deck approach to moving our state forward. 
                                                                 Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch
