Springfield Business Journal honored the 2018 class of Most Influential Women on Oct. 12 before a crowd of 430 at the University Plaza Convention Center.
The event makes 380 women recognized for their professional and civic accomplishments since 2000. It also served as a fundraiser for Women in Need of the Ozarks, which raised over $19,300 through donations, raffles and a silent auction.
Next year is the event's 20th anniversary.
