Cranberry Grower Earns Business Woman Trailblazer Honors
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 06/23/2016

A Wood County cranberry producer is among the recipients of the 2016 Governor's Trailblazer Awards for Women in Business. Mary Brazeau Brown, who serves as president of Glacial Lake Cranberries in Wisconsin Rapids, was honored during a ceremony at the State Capitol on Wednesday. She received the Pioneer award during the event.

"Women business owners continue to serve as important role models for potential job creators across the state," Governor Walker said. "Wisconsin's history of women-owned businesses is long-standing, and they are a key component to the economic success of our state."

This years' 15 Trailblazer award recipients represent eight counties and a wide range of industries including non-traditional industries for women. These businesses have sustained families and anchored communities.

Trailblazer Awards are given to businesses statewide to recognize the legacy of women's business ownership in Wisconsin. Categories include family-owned businesses that are currently owned by women and have been in operation for three generations or more, and businesses with sole or majority ownership by women, or a series of women, for 25 years or more.
