Launch Team Inc. Named a 2026 RBJ Elevating Women Award Winner

We're proud to share that Launch Team has been recognized as a 2026 Rochester Business Journal Elevating Women award winner.

The Elevating Women Awards honor companies and organizations that have demonstrated tangible efforts and documented results in supporting and empowering women in New York. Honorees were judged on documented hiring and promoting of women; leadership positions held by women; advocacy for the cause of women internally and externally; and efforts to cultivate the next generation of women professionals. The winners were selected by the Rochester Business Journal leadership team.

“The 2026 Elevating Women winners know that companies that support women support the community which makes good business sense. These businesses provide a pathway for women to learn and grow in their careers and in their personal lives,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/Rochester Business Journal. “We at the Rochester Business Journal congratulate these forward-thinking businesses for making a difference in Rochester and beyond.”

We're honored to be recognized alongside organizations across Rochester that are helping create opportunities for women to succeed and lead.
