Women Business Achievement Award, which recognizes 25 female CEOs making unprecedented strides in business, building a stronger community both financially, philanthropically and most importantly, through leadership.

The 25 award recipients of the first annual BRAVA! Awards were celebrated at SmartCEO's BRAVA! Awards event on November 10, 2010 at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The BRAVA! winners were profiled in the November issue of SmartCEO, and featured in the digital edition of the magazine.

"Considering the outstanding accomplishments and diversity of my fellow winners, I am honored to be one of the first twenty-five BRAVA! winners in Philadelphia," said Pierce, who strongly supports the advancement of women in the fields of science and engineering.

This year's winners lead 5,100 individuals, generate $1.6 billion in revenue, and support more than 100 nonprofit organizations and charities across the Greater Philadelphia region. The winners are selected by an independent panel of business leaders.

"BRAVA! Women Business Achievement award recipients are not only selected and honored for their success in growing a company, but also for demonstrating leadership throughout the Greater Philadelphia community. We are honored to recognize Fran Pierce as one of Greater Philadelphia's most influential leaders," said Jaime Nespor-Park, publisher of SmartCEO.

SmartCEO magazine is a regional publication specifically designed to deliver innovative ideas, guiding advice and forward-thinking insight about the daily challenges of running a "growing company." SmartCEO believes that a growing company is determined by the spirit, drive and dynamics of a company's owners and managers, rather than by the size of its building, the number of its employees, or its sales volume. Each month more than 50,000 business leaders in the Mid-Atlantic region turn to the pages of SmartCEO for features, case-study advice and trend analysis, all with a uniquely local flavor.
