BOSTON, August 11, 2014 – The Commercial Record has named its 2014 Women of FIRE honorees, an annual award recognizing the key female players in the local FIRE (Finance, Insurance and Real Estate) sector.

The fourth annual Women of FIRE award celebrates the best and the brightest women in the Connecticut FIRE industry. With the help of Commercial Record readers, a group of judges sorted through dozens of nominations and chose 13 brilliant, innovative leaders to be named this year’s Women of FIRE.

“We received many exceptional nominations for this year’s Women of FIRE, but I am pleased to announce that our search has finally reached a conclusion. We have narrowed it down to a deserving group of women who are rising to the top of this industry and achieving excellence on a day-to-day basis. They are pioneers, philanthropists and innovators, and their powerful influence is being felt on the keystone sectors of the U.S. economy,” said Timothy M. Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group, publisher of The Commercial Record.

The August issue of The Commercial Record will include profiles of each winner. The winners will also be honored at the 2014 Women of FIRE Awards Luncheon on August 20 at The Hartford Club. Commissioner of the newly created Connecticut Department of Housing, Evonne M. Klein, will give the keynote speech.
