A congresswoman. A former state treasurer. A chief of staff. A philanthropist. An Olympian. A business owner. Two journalists. The head of a chamber of commerce. A state senator.

The professional descriptions of the women readers selected as the 10 most influential women in Colorado hint at their prominence. Upon seeing their names, you will no doubt realize that their influence extends far beyond job titles.

Nearly 6,000 people voted to winnow the list of 75 finalists to the 10 winners.

We've heard from a number of you that too many women from the Front Range were on the finalists list. While that's largely due to our readership's concentration in the state's population center, it is a fair criticism that we will keep in mind in launching future contests.

Regardless, it is with great pride that we present you with snapshots — in their own words — of the 10 women you voted to the top of this year's list.
