About Women of Impact Awards
Honouring Women Who Make a Difference
The Women of Impact Awards which are presented in celebration of the annual International Women's Day recognise women who, through sustained effort, have done extraordinary work to shape the future of their industries and their communities at large. These women are motivating others around them, breaking the glass ceiling and paving their own paths—all while lifting up others around them and setting the example for the next generation of female leaders to be more and do more. Our Woman of Impact is a modern-day hero, game changer, mover and shaker and leads with courage, confidence, commitment, and purposefulness.
