Their accolades are substantial, their resumes are extensive and their dedication is fierce. They value teamwork, delight in challenges and never settle for less than their best. They are presidents, directors and leaders in their organizations, raise families and find time to volunteer. They are the Women of Western Wake who motivate and inspire us to do great things with our lives.

In the following articles, Cary Magazine highlights this year’s four female role models:
Billie Redmond, chief executive officer of Coldwell Banker Commercial TradeMark Properties;
Mary Henderson, director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources of the Town of Cary;
Sepi Asefnia, president of SEPI Engineering Group; and Mary Kamm, noted civic leader and award-winning community volunteer.

Together, these women are Cary Magazine’s Women of Western Wake 2009.
