Power is confidence. Power is strength. It’s that invisible inner energy we all possess, one that can be harnessed to achieve goals, get results, and make a difference in the world we share. Defining the meaning of power was one of the questions we asked the remarkable “Power Women” honored on the pages ahead, an impressive collection of changemakers and professionals in fields that range from wealth management to luxury fashion to health care. These women are entrepreneurs, business owners, financial planners, medical professionals, interior designers, real estate experts, educators, party planners, and artists who lead by example and stand as mentors to the next generation. Join us as we celebrate the Western Suburb’s influential women and all that they contribute, personally and professionally, to the towns we call home.


If you like what you see in these pages, please know that this feature was met with resounding enthusiasm and will be a recurring annual feature. Feel free to contact our team if you would like to recommend a Power Woman for our 2024 feature.
