Why nominate someone?

Highlighting brilliance

These awards provide a spotlight on excellence that too often goes unnoticed, particularly for women who lead services and support communities without formal recognition.

Celebrating every level of service

You can honour excellence at every level, from rising stars in the early stages of their careers to difference makers in essential frontline roles like social work, housing, and libraries.

Building a legacy

Being recognised helps attract top talent and positions an organisation as an employer of choice that values a working environment of innovation and excellence.

Raising awareness

A nomination provides a unique opportunity to raise the profile of specific service areas and projects, ensuring they get national recognition

Celebrate your own achievements

We strongly encourage you to nominate yourself! A woman who is visible this year is a candidate for the senior roles being created next year; don't wait for someone else to notice your hard work, ensure your brilliance is seen at the moment it matters most.

It only takes two minutes!

The nomination process is designed to be exceptionally quick, requiring no forms, essays, or evidence at the initial stage, just a name and a couple of sentences why you think this person is making an impact.
