Wing Women: Beside Every Great Woman Is Another Great Woman

Friends. Mentors. Colleagues. Sisters, moms, and cousins. No woman is an island, and this week's Northern Express - sister publication of The Ticker - celebrates the wing women who help us become our best selves at work, at home, and in our communities.

The Northern Express asked several northern Michigan women in leadership who their wing woman is - the person who is by their side and always has their back - and the unanimous opinion was that it’s hard to choose just one! Read this week's issue to see who inspires them, motivates them, and offers a listening ear for challenges big and small. The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy on newsstands at nearly 700 spots in 14 counties across northern Michigan.
