Empowering women in business, MCA-Pennsylvania’s inaugural competition celebrates leadership and elevates corporate queens to new heights.
Ms. Corporate America Pennsylvania (MCA-PA) has quickly become one of the most transformative platforms for women in leadership. In a world where women have long fought for visibility and recognition in the business world, MCA-PA offers a unique opportunity for women to rise above the noise, showcase their skills, and make their voices heard.
A Vision of Empowerment
Founded by President Angela Thompson and Vice President Natalie Neal, MCA-PA serves as a beacon for ambitious women striving to make an impact in their industries, communities, and personal brands. The competition is more than just a contest—it’s an empowering movement aimed at celebrating resilience, leadership, and dedication.
“Our mission is to elevate our queens by giving them real platforms to grow their brands, expand visibility, and advance their professional pursuits,” says Vice President Natalie Neal. “This competition is about empowering women to rise to new heights and providing the tools and support they need to achieve their goals.”
Award-Winning Recognition
This year, MCA-PA was recognized as the “Best Leadership Competition for Women in Pennsylvania of 2025” at the prestigious Evergreen Awards. This honor highlights the program’s remarkable success in empowering women and redefining leadership competitions. The award underscores MCA-PA’s commitment to fostering a supportive community where women can thrive, both personally and professionally.
This recognition solidifies MCA-PA’s role as a key player in shaping the future of women’s leadership and celebrates its role in offering participants not just a competition, but a platform for growth, visibility, and long-term success.
Breaking Barriers, Shaping Futures
The MCA-PA competition challenges the traditional pageant format. It’s not about crowns or superficial titles—it’s about empowering women to take charge of their futures, represent their cities, and pursue their personal and professional goals. The competition recognizes women who exemplify leadership, resilience, and dedication to community service, through awards like the Corporate Woman of the Year, Leadership Excellence Award, and the Community Impact & Service Award.
“Winning these awards is about more than the accolades,” says Thompson. “It’s about proving that leadership and service can go hand-in-hand, and we are proud to crown women who lead with impact and are committed to giving back to their communities.”
The Competition: A Platform for Growth
For the women who enter the competition, the experience is transformative. Beyond the fierce competition, MCA-PA provides invaluable opportunities for personal and professional growth. Participants have access to workshops, mentorship, and networking opportunities that help them sharpen their leadership skills and advance their careers. Most importantly, they are empowered to champion the causes they are passionate about, from corporate responsibility to women’s empowerment.
“The competition isn’t just about the potential to win,” explains Neal. “It’s about joining a network of like-minded, ambitious women and creating bonds that will last well beyond the competition itself.”
Crowning Legacy Leaders
As MCA-PA grows, so does the recognition of the incredible women leading it. What began as a small initiative to elevate women in business has quickly blossomed into a powerful platform that offers women the visibility and recognition they deserve.
“We believe every woman’s story is worth telling,” says Neal. “These women are not just contestants—they are the future leaders who will reshape the corporate landscape for years to come.”
What sets MCA-PA apart is its commitment to creating a space where women from all walks of life can rise to the top. Whether in corporate America, small businesses, or community-driven projects, the women of MCA-PA are building legacies that will inspire future generations of leaders.
Why MCA-PA is Different
Unlike many traditional competitions, MCA-PA’s focus is not on superficial elements but on real leadership and growth. The program provides a platform where women can build their brands, develop their leadership skills, and connect with a supportive network of like-minded professionals. The emphasis on collaboration, rather than competition, makes MCA-PA a unique and highly regarded event.
“Our queens are Crowned in Legacy, leading with impact, and shaping the communities they serve,” says Thompson. “This competition is designed to help women tap into their full potential, providing them with opportunities to succeed at the highest level.”
Empowering Women, Elevating Brands
MCA-PA is committed to more than just personal development; it’s also about helping participants expand their professional reach. By joining the competition, women gain the opportunity to elevate their personal brands, making valuable connections and opening doors to new career and business opportunities. The competition also provides a platform for businesses and sponsors to align with a powerful network of ambitious women driving change across industries.
For women ready to take their careers to the next level, MCA-PA offers a unique opportunity to be part of a movement that celebrates leadership, empowerment, and long-term success.
Looking Ahead to the Future
MCA-PA is dedicated to continuing its mission to empower women and help them thrive in their careers. As the competition grows, so too will its influence.
