What Does it Mean to be a Top Woman in Hardware & Building Supply?

Many of them lead businesses, others work behind the scenes. And whether they’re in the limelight or the background, the individual members of the Top Women of Hardware & Building Supply deserve to be commended for their contributions.

To win this award means you are seen and heard and deserve recognition for all of the hard work that you do in your industry. 

We here at HBSDealer are ecstatic to host this event year after year to shine a spotlight on these women and celebrate their achievements with their teammates.
