FLOWOOD, MS – November 20, 2025 – The Business Growers has been named the winner of a Silver Stevie® Award in the Achievement in Developing and Promoting Women category in the 22nd annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business.
The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honor the achievements of women executives, entrepreneurs, employees, and the companies they run – worldwide. The Stevie Award has been hailed as the world’s premier business award.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” the awards were presented to winners last night during a gala event attended by nominees and their guests at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City. The event was broadcast via Vimeo.
More than 1,500 entries from organizations and individuals in 48 nations and territories were submitted this year for consideration in more than 100 categories, including Executive of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Company of the Year, Startup of the Year, Women Helping Women, and Women Run Workplace of the Year. The Business Growers won in the Achievement in Developing and Promoting Women category.
“Winning the Silver Stevie® Award is an incredible honor that represents far more than recognition for our company,” said Laura Johns, founder and CEO of The Business Growers. “This award symbolizes progress for women in technology. At The Business Growers, we’ve built a space where women can lead, innovate, and create meaningful impact in a traditionally male-dominated industry. This award celebrates every woman who has led with confidence, trusted her voice, her vision, and her talent to drive real change.”
Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 190 business professionals around the world, working on seven juries.
Maggie Miller, president of the Stevie Awards, said, “In its 22nd year, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business received its most varied and diverse body of nominations ever, and that’s reflected in the caliber of this year’s winning nominations. We are gratified by how meaningful it is to women to win a Stevie Award, and how impactful it can be on the futures of their careers and their organizations. We congratulate all of this year’s Grand, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners for their achievements.”
