    Harris Executives Among The Business Ledger’s 2009 Influential Women in Business
    Julie Curran and Daniela O’Leary-Gill to be Honored at Nov. 12 Ceremony

    CHICAGO, Oct. 19 – Harris District Executives Julie Curran and Daniela O’Leary-Gill were today named among The Business Ledger’s 22 Influential Women in Business for 2009.

    “On behalf of everyone at Harris, congratulations to Julie and Daniela on this outstanding and well-deserved honor,” said Chris McComish, executive vice president of Retail Banking for Harris. “The award is a testament to their hard work, dedicat ion, and leadership, and we can’t wait to celebrate this achievement with them.”

    The Business Ledger’s Influential Women in Business awards were created to identify and recognize women who not only have succeeded in their careers, but also exerted influence in the community at large; and to draw attention to the unique challenges that women still face in the upper echelons of the business and professional worlds.

    The 12th annual “class” of honorees will be recognized during a Nov. 12 awards luncheon co-hosted by the Chicago Area Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), and profiled in an upcoming edition of The Business Ledger.
