Recognition That Creates Opportunity
The Women Empowerment Awards is a national recognition and advancement platform celebrating women who create meaningful impact across business, leadership, innovation, mentorship and community.
Through the annual Awards and the work of the Women Empowerment Foundation, we do more than recognize achievement. We provide grants, scholarships, visibility, connections and opportunities that help women and girls continue building what comes next.

The world needs strong women - women who will lift and build others, who will love and be loved, women who live bravely, both tender and fierce women of indomitable will.

Celebrating 5 years of Empowering Women!
You were meant to be in this room. ✨
For the past five years, the Women Empowerment Awards have been about exactly that — uplifting women, celebrating their impact, and creating a platform and movement where women are seen, heard and supported.
When women empower women, incredible things happen. We build confidence. We open doors. We create opportunities. And together, we rise higher.
And this year is especially meaningful.
We’re celebrating FIVE YEARS of women empowering women. Five years of stories. Five years of connections. Five years of opportunities. Five years of women showing up, lifting each other up, and creating change.
Because five years ago, we started with a vision.
Today, we are a movement.
Five years. Thousands of women. One powerful community.
