The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor female executives, entrepreneurs, and the companies they run. These awards are not tied to a specific geographic location, instead, they honor women from around the globe.

This year, Kristin Intress, CEO of TravLynx was named a finalist in the category of Female Entrepreneur of the Year – Business Products- 11 to 2,500 Employees. Over 1200 entries were submitted this year for consideration for a Stevie Award, in categories such as, “Executive of the Year”, “Entrepreneur of the Year”, “Women Helping Women”, and “Communications Campaign of the Year”. All together, there were more than 90 categories with finalists being selected by more than 130 business professionals. The awards will be determined by five final judging committees.

“We’re very excited about this year’s finalists in the Stevie Awards for Women in Business,” said Michael Gallagher, founder and president of the Stevie Awards.  “The judges have told me that they think this is the best and most inspiring crop of nominees we’ve ever had.  We look forward to seeing the judges’ final decisions.”
