The Judging Process

The Best 50 Women in Business program honors 50 of New Jersey's most accomplished women. To be considered for this award, each candidate was required to hold significant decision-making power, as an owner, partner or senior executive in a for-profit organization, and live or work in New Jersey. An independent three-judge panel selected this year's winners from a group of many outstanding nominees, each identified solely by a number. Using a point system, the judges rated nominees in three categories: professional accomplishment, including level of achievement within the nominee's company, industry and region; community involvement, including past and present activities in which the nominee and/or her business has participated; and advocacy for women within the nominee's company, industry and region. After two weeks of deliberation, the judges totaled up their scores to reveal the individuals honored as New Jersey's Best 50 Women in Business. |
