WHY IT
MATTERS! So why is it so important to celebrate the achievements of women? When we celebrate the achievements of one woman, we celebrate the achievements of all women. We pave the path for our future leaders and inspire hope as we emerge from the pandemic.
Women don’t fit onto one box. The tapestry of talent, wisdom and experience that women bring to the table contribute to a powerful united voice. Women contribute a diversity of skills and accomplishments and…we as women, foster innovation and embrace inclusion. The Women of Inspiration™ Awards program shines the spotlight on extraordinary women on their uniqueness….their differences and their similarities. They do all have one thing in common. They are leaders. They are mentors and they contribute significantly to the economy. Study after study has shown that Canada has up to $150 billion in GDP to gain by advancing gender equality and women’s participation in the economy. $150 billion! We all play a role to break the “concrete ceiling”. It is the collective voices of people in our networks, our families, and our teams who all play a critical role to advance women personally and professionally. Nominate a woman who inspires you. Let her know she is seen, heard and valued! Nominate 365 days. https://universalwomensnetwork.com/womeninspiration/nominate-2022
