2011 RADICAL WOMAN Award Winner:
Beth Caldwell

Beth Caldwell, Publicist and Executive Director of Pittsburgh Professional Women is the former publisher of The Pittsburgh Kids’ Directory and The Pittsburgh Wedding Directory. Beth began Pittsburgh Professional Women as an online networking group in November, 2002.  The organization began with just 8 members, quickly grew to 30, then 90, then 150.

In March, 2003 we began having networking lunches at Panera locations all around the Pittsburgh area.  Once the online group passed 250 members, Beth recognized the need for a real website.  Originally the plan was to sell ads online to support the site.  Not wanting to spend time selling ads, she realized that creating a membership organization would allow her to host important, useful, practical workshops that are affordable to attend.  Besides hosting workshops for business women, Beth also does Public Relations and she has written a book called I Wish I’d Known That!  Secrets to Success in Business from Women Who’ve Been There.

Beth is a ezine publisher, public relations specialist and a mentor to other women trying to balance family and career. She is a single mom of two teenage sons and resides in Pittsburgh.
