Women Executives Dominate 2003 American Business Awards
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

American businesswomen took center stage on April 30 as female executives dominated the first American Business Awards in New York. Both of the winners for Best Executive, the top category for individuals, were women. Debra Lee, president and COO of BET, a division of Viacom, and Chris A. Davis, chairman and chief executive officer of McLeodUSA Incorporated, were accorded their Stevies to loud applause.

Other top female winners included Wendy Marlett, senior vice president of marketing with KB Home, as Best Marketing Executive, and Sue Powers, senior vice president of worldwide product solutions and CIO with Worldspan, an Atlanta-based travel-management software provider, as Best Product Development or Engineering Executive. A total of 45 Stevies were bestowed, including one for Best New Company to Fine Living (pictured).
