 The Power Women of Manhattan honors women who are not afraid to stand for themselves and show to the world they can do a much better job than their male colleagues showing commitment, savvy, courage, boldness and knowledge. They are females who work and grow in their profession at the capital of the world Manhattan and make this town the authentic business city where women can have a better opportunity to establish themselves in their professions. Like the song says “If I can make it here I can make it anywhere” right? NYC is not an easy place to work and/or live, however, for those exceptional women who believe in Manhattan and its energy, this is the place to be, grow, succeed and be happy against all the odds.
