Diane Waghorne, Dallas :: was one of the recipients of the 2018 Women in Business Award by the Dallas Business Journal. She was a stay-at-home-mom who, while watching the coverage of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, wondered why there wasn't a product that could help those who worked at great heights escape to safety. In 2002, she founded Tech Safety Lines, which provides patented, third-party certified products that are now worn daily by employees in 22 countries who work on elevated platforms such as wind turbines, cell towers, aerial lifts and construction sites.
