Lakelife's annual advertising editorial feature

Women in Business 2022

If anyone knows about the invisible barrier that stops women from pursuing career advancements and growth, it’s our cover story woman, Cathy Cox. “Women are so capable,” Cox said during our interview. “Women bring so much to the workforce. Businesses succeed at such higher rates when women are involved in the leadership. Unfortunately, we’ve just got to keep proving those points over and over.” Lakelife magazine is thankful for and proud to showcase these women in your own communities who are shattering those barriers and contributing to the economic vitality and quality of life of Lake Country.
