Bradbury has used her educational expertise to volunteer as treasurer, financial adviser and bookkeeper for many local community organizations, and has mentored others in helping them understand the need for sound personal finance skills.

The awards will be given out at a luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Signature’s Visions Event Center. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased from any Women in Business board member, or at the following locations: Merchants Bank, Winona National Bank, Winona Daily News, Sport & Spine and LaBoutique.
