CONWAY — Women have long made a difference in the valley’s business world, and with International Women’s Day having just taken place and Women’s History Month being March, it seemed appropriate to publish our annual Women in Business edition this weekend.

In 2022, we highlighted Janice Crawford, who was retiring executive director of the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce; Brenda Leavitt of Badger Peabody and Smith, who was transitioning to a new role in partnership with her contractor husband Rich; Dot Seybold, former general manager of Settlers Green Outlet Village and now director of the Ham Foundation; Joy Tarbell, of Joy Tarbell Realty/KW Lakes & Mountains, now concentrating on her rental housing business with husband, Ed Minyard; and Donna Woodward, former head of the Fryeburg Business Association, founder of Valley Pride cleanup day.
