President/CEO honored as one of Pennsylvania Business Central’s 2019 Top Women in Business CEOs
Dr. Patricia Savage was recognized through Pennsylvania Business Central’s 2019 Top Women in Business CEOs.
According to their website, Pennsylvania Business Central says in regards to this year’s submissions, “our second-ever Women in Business Top CEO list looks at the area’s biggest and brightest movers and shakers in the female business world. These are the women who are setting examples, either by breaking into their company’s C-suite or starting their own successful organizations. Regardless of how they reached their place of leadership, though, they all have one thing in common. They’re influencing our region for the better, both in their business and personal lives. From fields like healthcare and education, to male-dominated industries like construction and energy, they’re taking their much- deserved places in the driver’s seat, leading us all to a progressive and profitable Central Pennsylvania.”
