About 100 Successful Women to Know
Many talented, accomplished women on the Mississippi Gulf Coast don’t seek recognition for themselves, but Gulf Coast Woman magazine ensures they shine brightly with the "100 Successful Women to Know" campaign. This annual initiative celebrates influential and impactful South Mississippi female leaders, who represent areas ranging from nonprofits and the arts to education and entrepreneurship. Extra consideration is given to nominees who are deserving, but may not have received top honors.
