Rhonda Forsyth named Businesswoman of the Year  Phoenix Business Journal

- by Lynn Ducey

The incoming president and CEO of John C. Lincoln Health Network, Rhonda Forsyth, was named 2009 Businesswoman of the Year as part of a luncheon and trade expo to recognize the Phoenix-area’s top female executives.
 

Forysth currently is executive vice president and chief operating officer for John C. Lincoln Health Network and will assume the hospital’s highest leadership post next month.
 

In receiving her award, Forsyth said she was honored to be chosen from a field of such top-achieving women and accepted the award on behalf of the more than 3,000 John C. Lincoln employees who contribute to her success.
 

The event was sponsored by the Phoenix Business Journal and with more than 400 people attended the event Tuesday at the Downtown Phoenix Sheraton.
 

A panel of five women discussed keys to their success and their take on the economic situation as part of a roundtable moderated by Phoenix Business Journal Editor Ilana Lowery: Susan Cordts, president and CEO of Adaptive Technologies; Donna Davis, CEO of the Arizona Small Business Association; Paige Heavey, owner of Paige Heavey Fine Properties and director of Central Phoenix Women; Patty Johnson, owner of Connections Marketing and Communications and Michelle Robson, founder and chairwoman of EmpowHer.com,
 

While the executives said it is important to track the impact of President Obama’s stimulus package, they also hope it will help reinvigorate the economy and urged Gov. Jan Brewer to protect the state’s education spending as legislators cut programs and services to shore up Arizona’s $3 billion budget deficit.
“Education sets the foundation for our future,” said Heavey.
 

The women also urged their fellow executives to mentor younger women and seek opportunities to contribute to the community, through things such as civic participation, coaching youth sports and volunteerism at local schools.
 

“Find something that you truly care about, get engaged and get involved. Get on the board, get on a committee,” said Johnson.
In all, 25 women were honored at the event. Click here for a story on all the honorees.

Thursday, April 2, 2009
 

Paul Martodam, chief executive of Catholic Charities, is pleased to announce that the nonprofit is hosting its third annual Compassion in Action Breakfast. All proceeds will benefit programs and services that Catholic Charities offers to individuals, children and families living in poverty.

Did you know one in five Arizona children and nearly one in six of all Arizonans are living below the poverty line?

Catholic Charities is a charitable organization that serves all people regardless of race, color, religion, faith, age or national origin. Last year, the nonprofit touched the lives of nearly 200,000 people in need throughout Central and Northern Arizona.

This free breakfast provides an opportunity to learn about the programs and services that Catholic Charities offers. All proceeds raised during the event will directly benefit Catholic Charities programs that help individuals, families and children climb out of poverty.
