The 26th Year of The Women’s Edge Recognizing Women Leaders Across the Commonwealth

Boston - September 17, 2026 - Meet Boston is proud to announce that it has been named one of the 2026 Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts, an annual recognition presented by The Women’s Edge in partnership with Boston Globe Media.

Now in its 26th year, the Top 100 celebrates women-led companies and nonprofit organizations across Massachusetts and the women leaders driving their organizations, industries, and communities forward.

Led by Martha J. Sheridan, President and CEO, Meet Boston joins this year’s group of 100 organizations representing a diverse range of industries and sectors throughout the state.

“Boston is a city with an incredible story to tell, and it’s our privilege at Meet Boston to help share that story with visitors from around the world. This recognition speaks to the passion of our team and the impact of our work to bring people to Boston and support the businesses and communities that make our city so dynamic,” said Sheridan. “This also speaks to our leadership in supporting women across the travel and tourism industries. We’re proud to see that work recognized alongside so many women-led organizations helping move Massachusetts forward.”

“We are proud to celebrate the women leaders who continue to shape Massachusetts businesses, nonprofits, and communities,” said Elizabeth L. Hailer, Chief Executive Officer of The Women’s Edge. “The 2026 Top 100 honorees represent the breadth and strength of women’s leadership across the Commonwealth, and we look forward to celebrating their accomplishments together this fall.”

The 2026 Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts are currently listed alphabetically on The Women’s Edge website. The rankings will be revealed at the 2026 Top 100 Awards Breakfast on Friday, October 30, 2026.
