Women of Western Wake

By

Powerful, influential and driven. These are characteristics of a leader, and describe our picks for this year’s Women of Western Wake. With their power, influence and drive, they have changed the dynamic of the local, national and international business community and enriched the lives of local citizens.

All of them create these changes while they wear many hats as wives, mothers, executives, chairs, volunteers and friends. They cultivate the landscape of their work environments into factories of success, and focus on raising the next generation of leaders in their home environments. And they do it with class, charisma and sophistication.

In the following pages, Cary Magazine highlights this year’s five female role models: Cynthia Marshall, president of AT&T North Carolina; Gale Adcock, director of Corporate Health Services for SAS Institute; Virginia Anthony, president of the Kirk of Kildaire Presbyterian congregation; Maureen Hartford, president of Meredith College; and Ping Fu, chief executive officer of software firm Geomagic.

Together, these women are Cary Magazine’s Women of Western Wake 2010:
