Announcing the 2022 Pay-it-Forward Leadership Award!
With talented women expressing more often feeling undervalued, underutilized, and overworked in the workplace and experiencing more gender disparities, we want to celebrate the leaders and workplaces who are supporting women in leadership through sponsorship.
By sponsorship, we mean things like:
Using your social capital to introduce talented female employees to stakeholders who could help them advance in their careers,
Advocating for women when they are in the room AND when they are not,
Identifying and interrupting workplace gender bias that holds women back from career advancement
Creating and offering programs that make a difference for more access to career promotional opportunities.
Do you know an individual or organization who does that kind of sponsorship?
If so, please nominate them by July 18, 2022.
Eligibility:
nominees must meet both of the following criteria:
You or your organization have helped women sponsor women in leadership this past year.
You or your organization demonstrate a value and commitment to supporting gender diversity and inclusion in leadership (including intersectionality of other marginalized identities in the workplace, such as Black women, women with disabilities, and non-binary or queer identities). For example, aiming to reduce barriers to recruitment, retention, or promotion of talented women leaders.
