Northern Ohio Live : November 2008 : 11th Annual Northern Ohio Live Rainmakers

Each year, Northern Ohio Live honors a select group of extraordinary women with our Rainmaker Award. The women chosen for this honor are no strangers to recognition, but we hope they’ll be thrilled to hang a Rainmaker award on their wall. It’s a unique and successful sisterhood, and we’re pleased to welcome them to the fold.

Mentoring is an important part of the Rainmaker program, and it ensures that we will be honoring Rainmakers for many years to come. This is why I am proud that Northern Ohio Live includes Rainmaker Scholar awards in our annual recognition of extraordinary women – these are the women who will step up to be future Rainmakers and, in turn, role models for a new generation of women in the workplace.

Please join Northern Ohio Live in congratulating our 2008 Rainmakers and Rainmaker Scholars. They deserve a very enthusiastic round of applause.

This is the 11th annual Rainmakers publication. Our presenting sponsor is KeyBank Key4Women. Sponsors are Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Judson at University Circle, Westfield Insurance, Baldwin-Wallace College, John Carroll University, Cleveland State University, Ursuline College, YWCA of Greater Cleveland and 89.7 WKSU. A breakfast honoring the Rainmakers and scholarship recipients will be held Friday, November 9 at the InterContinental Hotel & Conference Center in Cleveland.

We’re very pleased to extend our congratulations to these women and to share their accomplishments with our readers.
