This recognition highlights women who have made an impact on Detroit's business and governmental communities and serve as strong leaders in their industries. During the awards ceremony, Carrie spoke to a crowd of almost 1000 people, taking a moment to recognize her Bodman colleagues, whose talent, hard work and support made the recognition possible.
