Saluting Zululand’s influential women
Two new exciting categories added to awards line-up
NOMINATIONS are well under way for the annual Businesswomen’s Association (BWA) Zululand Regional Achievers’ Awards.
The community is urged to acknowledge women who achieve extraordinary milestones across all spheres.
The prestigious awards ceremony will be held on Friday, 4 October at the Umfolozi Casino Resort in Empangeni.
This year, BWA Zululand has added two new exciting categories, namely ‘Environmental Entrepreneur of the Year’ and the ‘Most Innovative Business of the Year’.
‘These new categories will shine the light on enterprising women who have been able to run environmentally-friendly businesses, championing conservation or thriving in the recycling or alternative renewable energy markets,’ said BWA Zululand Chairperson, Ronelle Ramsamy.
‘The ‘Most Innovative Business of the Year’ award will salute the innovative and resourceful woman who has gone beyond the conventional, coming up with an original business model that works and creates employment,’ said Ramsamy.
The other five categories are ‘Professional Woman of the Year’, ‘Corporate Woman of the Year’, ‘Social Entrepreneur of the Year’, ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ and the ‘Women in Government Award’.
Under the theme ‘Leading with integrity’, Zululanders are invited to nominate successful women who emulate these important traits at a time when the country is largely plagued by corruption and mismanagement in all spheres.
Recognising excellence in the corporate, professional, government and social arena, the regional awards celebrates the phenomenal businesswomen who are making a difference in their communities and helping to grow the local economy.
Those who have displayed outstanding ability and courage to establish their own business, as well as possess the necessary skills to operate these businesses successfully, will also be acknowledged.
Nominations for the regional awards close in mid-August before final judging gets under way.
