Mainebiz plans to celebrate five inspirational female leaders in-person on Thursday, Sept. 15, at the 2022 Mainebiz Women to Watch reception. Mainebiz launched its Women to Watch award recognition program as a way to bring attention to top-notch women who are executives, women whose daily work strengthens their organizations and by extension, Maine’s economy. Now, after 14 years, Mainebiz has honored 68 women, including this year’s newest honorees, according to a news release from Portland-based business news source.
The 2022 honorees are Kate McAleer, founder/owner and CEO of Bixby Chocolate; Renee Kelly, assistant vice president for Innovation and Economic Development at the University of Maine; Kristine Logan, executive director for the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority; Mufalo Chitam, executive director for the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition; and Laurie Lachance, president of Thomas College.

The Women to Watch reception will be hosted from 5 to 7 p.m. at The Westin Portland Harborview Hotel in the grand ballroom at 157 High St.
