Congratulations Winners!
2024 Women of Inspiration™ Awards
The Women of Inspiration™ Awards recognize the achievements of women who lead, inspire, and motivate others. We shine a spotlight on influential leaders from diverse sectors across North America.
This year, we gathered in New York City to honor the accomplishments of women and their SupportHER allies who are effecting meaningful change in their industries, organizations, networks, and on a global scale.
We experienced the strength of connection, the impact of women in leadership roles, and the power of their stories that highlight industries where women are often underrepresented, showcasing the change they can inspire both individually and collectively.
A Woman of Inspiration leads, inspires, and motivates.
- They are leaders, changemakers, and role models—powerful individuals (both women and men) who drive change.
- They may seem ordinary, yet they achieve extraordinary feats.
- They understand that their stories empower them rather than define them. They embody grit and tenacity, recognizing their worth.
- They are unafraid to take the road less traveled, even if it means going it alone, standing firm in their convictions.
- They uplift those around them, boldly claiming their space and dreaming big.
Our awardees share a common thread: they are leaders who inspire change.

Experiencing the event firsthand has only intensified my admiration for the work your organization does to empower and celebrate women making significant changes. I am eager to explore collaborative opportunities to create independent projects that highlight the stories of extraordinary women. There is immense potential to capture and share these inspiring journeys, and I would be excited to contribute to your vision. Thank you once again for this opportunity. Kyle Rollins – ABC News
