Women of Influence identifies high-achieving women for their tremendous career accomplishments. The Women of Influence honorees are selected based on professional experience, community involvement and a commitment to mentoring. In addition to our Women of Influence awards, we will also be honoring Women to Watch, who are women under the age of 35, and The Circle of Excellence, who are women of longstanding, notable success in the community and are leading the way for other women.
If you have questions about this awards event, please email [email protected].
How can I be considered for the Women of Influence award?
Nominations can be made by anyone, including yourself. An application is automatically emailed to all nominees and must be completed in order to be considered for this award. A letter of recommendation is not required, but is strongly encouraged to assist the judges in making their decision.
To be eligible, applicants must live in or work in Central Pennsylvania.
How often can I be considered?
Women can be honored every other year but not two consecutive years.
Do the judges evaluate differently for the Circle of Excellence?
The Circle of Excellence is awarded for sustained achievement, longstanding, notable success in the community and are leading the way for other women. The judges are asked to be extremely selective at this stage and look for continued involvement in all key areas with a demonstration that they are still actively involved and proactive.
Should I have a letter of recommendation sent?
Past judges have told us that the letter(s) of recommendation is helpful particularly when they are not familiar with the candidate. Up to 3 letters of recommendations can be emailed to [email protected]. Please save all letters of recommendation as PDFs labeled with your name (or organization) led by the category or event you are being nominated for. The letter will be paired to your application when it is received.
I’m a Women of Influence award winner, what now?
Sit tight, a member of our team will contact you soon with any additional details.
If I’m a honoree, do I need to purchase a ticket?
You do not need to purchase a ticket for yourself as an honoree. All other attendees must purchase a ticket. Sponsorship packages are available to purchase for those wanting large groups of tickets and additional benefits.
Can I buy an ad in the publication?
The Women of Influence program is supported through sponsorships. The ads you see in the magazine are part of the sponsorship packages. Please email [email protected].
I bought a ticket but I don’t see it?
Remember, tickets can only be opened on one device, if you open it on your phone but then try to open it on your computer it will not work.
