In honor of Women’s History Month, weVENTURE Women’s Business Center (WBC) is seeking nominations for the 2021 Women Who Rock Awards. Submission deadline is Friday, February 5, 2021.

The women and companies are nominated by their peers and the general public across five categories:

On Tuesday, March 23, 2021, the winners will be recognized at a virtual event. Each nominee will be showcased from each of the categories before announcing the overall 2021 winners.

“Research has shown, COVID-19 Pandemic has had devastating effects on women in the workplace and been especially challenging for female entrepreneurs,” said weVENTURE WBC’s Executive Director Kathryn Rudloff.

“This year’s Women Who Rock Awards are an opportunity to celebrate local women who, despite a challenging year, are inspiring others through their work and leadership. We also want to recognize those local businesses who have helped support their female employees and have championed their success in the workplace,” Rudloff added.
