Local businesses, including The Glue Factory, Oak Orchard Health, Effortlessly Healthy, and Cornell Cooperative Extension Monroe County, are among those that Rochester Business Journal named as 2026 Elevating Women Award winners.
The Elevating Women Awards honor companies and organizations that have demonstrated tangible efforts and documented results in supporting and empowering women in New York. Honorees were judged on documented hiring and promoting of women; leadership positions held by women; advocacy for the cause of women internally and externally; and efforts to cultivate the next generation of women professionals. The winners were selected by the Rochester Business Journal leadership team.
Winners will be honored at the Rochester Business Journal’s Women’s Leadership Summit on September 24 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center and will be profiled in a special section that will be inserted into the September 18 issue of the Rochester Business Journal and will be available online at RBJ.net.
