Monumental Mission: Women to KNOW Expands to 30 States to Build the Ultimate National Record of Female Excellence
We have monumental news—news that fundamentally changes the landscape of professional recognition for women in America.
After incredible momentum and success in our foundational markets, we are ecstatic to announce that Women to KNOW is launching a massive 30-state national expansion!
This isn't just about printing more books; it’s about strategically scaling our mission to close the visibility gap for top-level, ambitious women across the country. Our commitment over the next 12 months is to build the ultimate, permanent national record of female excellence.
The Problem We're Solving (And Why It’s National)
For too long, the contributions of high-achieving women—the founders, the executives, the disruptors—have remained known only within their immediate networks or city limits. They lacked a permanent, national platform to archive their measurable impact.
Our hardcover coffee table book and honor provides that permanent record. It is a commitment to ensuring these leaders are not just successful, but genuinely recognized for their impact on business and community.
As our Founder & CEO, Sarah Benken Foushee, puts it:
“This expansion is the most significant step we have taken to fulfill our core mission. By scaling from local success to 30 state editions, we are building the ultimate national record of female excellence, ensuring these leaders are recognized for their measurable impact.”
The First Four: Immediate Call for Nominations
Our national journey begins right now in four powerful, dynamic markets. We are officially opening nominations for women whose professional contributions show substantial, measurable impact, proven leadership, and a commitment to mentorship.
We need your help identifying the best and the brightest in:
- Texas
- Oklahoma
- Arizona
- Georgia
If you know a high-caliber woman in one of these states who deserves to be recognized, now is the time to act!
Our 30-State Commitment: The Future of Female Excellence
