Mission:
The Elevating Women awards shine a light on companies and organizations that have demonstrated tangible efforts and documented results in supporting and empowering women in New York.
Event Format:
Elevating Women honorees are selected by a panel of judges made up of the Rochester Business Journal leadership team. Applications are judged based on documented hiring and promoting of women; leadership positions held by women; advocacy for the cause of women internally and externally; and efforts to cultivate the next generation of women professionals and letters of recommendation.
Honorees will be profiled in print and online. Each honoree will be celebrated at an awards celebration.
Application:
To be considered for the Elevating Women awards, companies must complete an application form. There is a fee to submit the application. It is strongly considered for all company applicants to send up to three letters of recommendation to [email protected] by the application deadline.
