We’ve just announced that the Enterprising Women Annual Awards 2009 are now open for entries. It’s certainly been a really tough year for businesses, battling against the recession, and we know that there have been some huge achievements made by women across Britain this year.
Our Awards cover nine categories, from Inspirational Business Mum to Young Entrepreneur and, from which the Enterprising Woman of 2009 will be chosen. We’re looking forward to receiving nominations for the awards, the winners of which we’ll be announcing at our Awards Lunch on 24th November.
Last year’s EW nominees and winners said that the Enterprising Women awards brought them real business and personal rewards as well as great promotional opportunities from press coverage to speaker events. This acknowledgement and recognition together with the validation by the wider business community, made the whole experience rewarding at every level for them.
If you know somebody who you feel deserves an EW Award, or you would like to nominate yourself, visit The Enterprising Women Annual Awards 2009 to find out more. You can also register to attend the Awards Lunch and take part in our Christmas Fair.
...and don't forget - this isn't just about nominating someone else! It's also about doing that thing that we rarely do ... nominating ourselves!
ReplyDelete"Oooooh, I couldn't possibly do that!" we all shriek as we run for cover amid memories of being told that we should never "boast" and "no one like a Big Head!"
Hmmm, our culture and history have had a big impact on us. When will we finally break free from the complex legacy of female promoted male expectations about how we should behave? Answers on a postcard please!!
