BizSense to honor the latest class of Richmond region’s most noteworthy businesswomen

Long & Foster Real Estate is proud to announce that Joan Dorsey, managing broker of its Village of Midlothian, Victoria and South Boston offices, has been named as a finalist in the Richmond BizSense 2024 RVA Power Women Awards, presented by Brown Edwards.

The 45 finalists were chosen by a panel of judges in 15 categories such as Banking/Finance, Construction/Development, Government, Healthcare, Higher Education, Nonprofit Leader, and Residential Real Estate.

The finalists will be honored on May 9 at the RVA Power Women gala at Dover Hall. One winner will be chosen from each of the 15 categories that evening, and the list will be published the next morning in the Richmond BizSense.

In her current role at Long & Foster, Dorsey oversees a team of over 100 real estate agents, providing training, support, and education to make the office and its associates some of Long & Foster’s most successful.

“We congratulate Joan on being named as a finalist for the 2024 RVA Power Women Awards,” said Dawn Bradley, senior vice president & regional manager of Long & Foster’s Richmond and Charlottesville regions. “Joan is an exceptional leader and an accomplished real estate professional with a true passion for the industry and we are proud that Richmond BizSense has recognized her as a noteworthy businesswoman.”

Dorsey began her real estate career over two decades ago at Long & Foster. In 2007, her dedication to professional growth and expertise led her to earn her broker’s license. In 2011, driven by her entrepreneurial spirit, Dorsey opened her own boutique brokerage, a venture that proved to be successful – Long & Foster acquired Dorsey’s brokerage in 2017.

“I am thrilled to be selected as a finalist for this award among many other talented women business leaders in the Richmond area,” said Dorsey. “Becoming president of the Richmond Association of Realtors (RAR) this year was a great honor and now being included as a finalist for the RVA Power Women Awards is truly icing on the cake.”

Tickets for the event are available here.
