Quad Cities Biz Journal acquires awards event

Quad Cities Regional Business Journal

The Quad Cities Regional Business Journal has acquired the rights to the Athena Awards in the Quad Cities from Women Lead Change.

A story on its website states, “The QCBJ’s sister publication, the Corridor Business Journal, has been hosting a similar women’s awards event in the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Corridor region for the past 19 years. Its event — Women of Influence Awards — is widely known throughout the region for recognizing some of the Corridor’s most impactful women leaders.

“‘We are excited to have the opportunity to highlight and honor some of the Quad Cities’ most influential women,’ said Beth Clark, associate publisher of the QCBJ. ‘We anticipate that this reimagined awards event will take place in May of 2024, with more details still to come.’

“American Bank & Trust, headquartered in Davenport, has committed to be the Platinum Sponsor for the upcoming event, and is eager to lend its support to ensure the success of the QCBJ’s first women’s leadership awards event in the Quad Cities.”
