For more than a dozen years, the Queens Power Women in Business event has specifically honored those individuals in Queens who make a profound impact on the borough, whether in business, community, charities, health or education. This year’s special recipient of the Outstanding Service Award will be Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul. The Plaxall family, the Kirbys, the Pfohls and the Quigleys will receive the Philanthropists of the Year award for their contributions to the Queens community. This year’s Hall of Fame inductees include Elaine DeRosa, president, DeBoccia Electrical Construction Corporation; Margaret McGowan, vice president/relationship manager, TD Bank; Vera Moore, CEO, Vera Moore Cosmetics; and Michelle Stoddart, director of public relations and communications, Resorts World New York. “As the founder of the leading publication in Queens and many other prominent publications throughout the borough, Brooklyn and Long Island, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with the foremost businesswomen of Queens and witness their remarkable accomplishments,” said Queens Courier Publisher Victoria Schneps, the founder of the Queens Power Women in Business. “I created the event as a way of recognizing these incredible individuals, who might not otherwise get the attention they deserve.” The 2015 affair drew nearly 800 of the most influential people and community leaders in the city to mingle, exchange business cards and share in celebrating their peers. No other event in the borough gathers so many powerful individuals, making Queens Power Women in Business the most anticipated networking event of the year and one not to be missed. The event concludes with a charity piece in which 100% of the raffle proceeds will be donated to PSCH Inc. and Elncor Youth and Adult Activities Inc.
