Sacramento is one of the nation's top 20 regions for female executives and women-owned businesses, according to a just-released report.

The four-county area -- from Yolo County's biotech companies to midtown Sacramento's chic boutiques -- ranked No. 18 in a national survey of female executives and women-owned businesses, and the third highest-rated city in the state, according to a Bizjournals study.

And soon there will be even more good news for Sac Women, when SacWomen, a new blog and networking group, run by the founders of Sacramento Executive, opens for business. Watch this space. And if you don't already get Sacramento Executive invitations and want to be added to the Sac Women invite list, send an email to gillian@sacramentoexecutive.com. It's going to be fun!
