Great Women, Great Buzz
The second annual TIAW World of Difference 100 Awards is picking up steam and there has been a great buzz around the world about potential nominees.
We are delighted with the high level of interest shown so far; there are so many champions making impressive gains on behalf of women’s economic empowerment and we are very excited to hear about so many of them. However, as it is summer here in the northern hemisphere, it’s also a time when many people are on holiday and we’ve been asked to extend the July 31st deadline by two weeks to give those who would like to make nominations more time to submit the names of their candidates.
ACCORDINGLY, WE ARE MOVING THE DEADLINE FOR NOMINATIONS FROM JULY 31 TO FRIDAY AUGUST 14th, 5pm Eastern Daylight Time. Nominating is easy! ust fill in the form with the coordinates of you and your nominee and tell us, in 250 words or less, why your candidate has made a difference to the economic empowerment of women! Click here for Nomination Form. The TIAW World of Difference 100 will be honoured on Monday, October 19th in Toronto, Canada. This is your opportunity to show YOUR leadership by recognizing other women as together we connect to make all the difference in the world!
