Today, Better Business Bureau’s Women in Business Networking (WiBN) program is privileged to announce the 2021 class of Top 25 Women of Impact (formerly Top 25 Women To Watch) and two new honors for the Dayton and the Miami Valley region.
The Top 25 Women of Impact are dynamic professional women who have been recognized for inspiring and encouraging those around them to actively challenge the status quo, working to improve their communities, develop their employees and advocate for women in general. Rather than being content with others just watching them work, these women involve those around them in their endeavors thereby increasing their collective IMPACT.
Ann Riegle-Crichton, WiBN executor director, shares, “2020 is a year of change for WiBN. The program has a new executive director, our leadership conference went virtual for the first time and now we’re taking a twist with our annual awards. In the past, we’ve honored the Top 25 Women To Watch. This year, we’re renaming the honor to the Top 25 Women of Impact. We believe the new name for the honor better reflects the vision of the award.”
Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz
2021 Top 25 Women of Impact include:
Shanda Campbell
Maria Walusis
WiBN is also adding two new awards. The first is the Jeanne Porter Career Achievement Award, which will be awarded annually to a woman who continues to inspire, influence and impact the business community and the world around them well beyond their initial recognition as a Top 25 Woman. This award is meant to recognize an impactful professional legacy, like that of Jeanne Porter, founder of WiBN. Robin Brun, Robin Brun Consulting, is the 2021 recipient.
The second new honor is the WiBN Youth Enterprise Award, which recognizes the effort of a female or a group of young women between the ages of 15-22 to create and implement a charitable program or business that changes the lives of women in the community at large. Recipient in 2021 is Femme Aid Collaborative which was started by three students from Oakwood High School to eliminate “period poverty” for women unable to afford essential feminine hygiene products.
A pandemic-appropriate celebration is planned for all of these honorees in February 2021. It may not be the traditional gala held in previous years, but it will be a memorable event for the honorees, sponsors, WiBN members and others.

Young’s Jersey Dairy has grown and sold pumpkins for decades – and their fields are filled with orange this fall!
There are two ways to find just the right pumpkin for your family. The most exciting way is to “pick your own” pumpkin directly from the field. You can Pick Your Own Pumpkins on every day from 11am – 6pm. To choose your pumpkin this way, purchase a ticket at Cowvin’s Corny Bin located between the Dairy Store and the Barn, then get on the wagon ride that goes to the Pumpkin Patch. After arriving at the field, get off the wagon and look (and look) until you find just the right pumpkin (or pumpkins!) to fit your needs. This is a great way to have fun, enjoy a wagon ride, and get a fresh pumpkin all at the same time.
The cost is now $9 per pumpkin or 3/$24, which includes the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch. Last day for Pick Your Own Pumpkins is Oct 27.
Another way to find your special pumpkin is to look through the many pumpkins already harvested from the field and displayed next to the Dairy Store. There are always several thousand small pumpkins that sell for $3.00 or less. The larger pumpkins are all individually marked with a price. Young’s has a large selection of gourds and Indian Corn for your fall decorations!
While you’re their check out the family fun maze, created from more than 3½ acres of cornfield and has over one mile of paths. You get on the Cowvin’s Corny Maze wagon ride for a trip out to the corn maze – then get lost for a while – usually 25-50 minutes – depending on your skills and luck – then hop on the wagon for a trip back to the barn area. Age 11 and under must be accompanied by an adult. The maze is open 11am everyday (weather dependent) to around 6pm to give the last group at least an hour before it starts getting dark to find their way out. Cowvin’s Corny Maze goes through our cornfield and has many twists, dead-ends and tricky twists. It’s an adventure!
The price is $7.50 a person age 5 and older. Age 4 and under are free. Children age 11 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Price includes a wagon ride to and from the maze.

QiGong is an ancient healing art that strengthens mind and body by increasing the supply and flow of qi – energy / breath throughout the body. Unprecedented times show us where we are “power-less” – Qigong shows us where we are powerful. We may not be able to heal the world – but we can heal our internal world with simple yet powerful movements that, with continued practice, can help lower blood pressure, improve balance, stimulate internal organs and bodily systems and generally pave a way to a healthier and happier you.
Decompress peacefully with us by practicing this healing art at the lovely Secret Eden Pavilion. Qi Gong is a series of very easy flow exercises that will help cultivate your breath and revitalize your qi or energy. It is easily adaptable to all health levels – and can even be done sitting a chair as needed for balance.
