What makes a community? Undoubtedly, the magic comes from its people. Our lives wouldn't be what they are without the stellar local establishments found around every corner of West Michigan, from the newly-founded to the well-established and everything in between.
That's why we created the West Michigan Woman Readers' Choice Awards. With categories reflective of each section of the magazine, the awards seek to highlight YOUR favorite local businesses and people who deserve to be recognized for the services and specialties they provide.
West Michigan Woman readers rallied to have their voices heard. Keep reading to see the finalists for our third annual Readers' Choice Awards. All finalists and winners will be highlighted in the Dec '23/Jan '24 issue of West Michigan Woman.
