Congratulations to Mary Vasaly on being recognized with the Myra Bradley Award by Minnesota Women Lawyers on May 12, 2010.

During February 2010, Polish Your Star congratulated and recognized Twin City female leaders included in the Business Journal’s Book of Lists, 2010 Edition.

Don't think it's anything special? Their names represent only 15% of the total - the remaining 85% are men. Listed leaders were recognized by mail, with an online listing which could be linked to the web reference of their choosing, by Alumni of Polish Your Star and organizations. They have also been and encouraged to expand their leadership reach by attending an exclusive Friends of Polish Your Star women's networking event with friends or other honorees.
