The community nominated more than 30 deserving women in the Central Arkansas area. Of these nominees, a panel of Chamber executives from across the country selected this year’s Women in Business award finalists:
- Brandy Strain-Dayer – Strain Photography.

Each will receive the “Outstanding Woman in Business Award” at a sold-out luncheon scheduled 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4, in the Student Center Ballroom at the University of Central Arkansas.
Of the five recipients, one will receive the prestigious “Diamond Achievement Award.” This award recognizes an individual who has inspired and empowered many generations of women and who has had a positive impact on those in her profession and in the community.
