Previous nominees reported enormous benefits from simply working through the entry template. The reward of being acknowledged publicly as a Woman of Inspiration™ nominee was all by itself felt to be a bonus.

Supporting women in business, in our community and in our families has always been part of our DNA, and when we founded Levvel, naturally that was at the heart of how we ran the business. So being honoured together with the SupportHER Award, as partners in business and life, is a true confirmation that what we do every day is making a difference for women. Chantal and Brian Milloy – Co-founders, Levvel Inc. | Women of Inspiration™ 2021 SupportHER™ Award

Women of Inspiration and their theme Women Driving Change in 2021 that culminated in our Best Selling book on Amazon from 100 women of Inspiration lead by Monica is an amazing organization. I am so proud to be honoured for a Global Impact Award as an entrepreneur for my tech start-ups and innovations and inventions in AI, security and emergency messaging. It is humbling to be honoured among these incredible women. Dr. Suhayya (Sue) Abu-Hakima, Co-Sounder/CEO Alstari | Women of Inspiration™ 2021 Global Impact Award

Winning the Authentic Leader award has been a surreal experience! Being acknowledged for my contributions to my community and to my firm has validated my efforts to continuing to ensure that women have a voice, that they are seen and that they are heard. I feel very honoured to be in the company of so many extraordinary Women of Inspiration award recipients! Andrea Linger – Associate Vice President and Head of the Womens Canadian Advisory Network | Women of Inspiration™ 2021 Global Impact Award

I am incredibly honoured and grateful to have met so many visionary leaders through the Universal Women’s Network™ and receive the 2021 Women of Inspiration™ Economic Empowerment Award. It has been a privilege to collaborate closely with many regional, national, and global partners on a critical objective: to help enable and accelerate the growth and success of women founders, owners, and leaders. It will take sustained collaborative action with critical mass to move this critical dial, and facilitate greater access to the investment, resources, and opportunities required to advance women entrepreneurs. Here in Ottawa, we strive to help catalyze the first woman-owned and led $100 million company in Canada’s Capital. I share this award with all partners who are driving consistent action and progress towards these shared goals. It is a testament to the power of collaboration. Sonya Shorey, Vice President, Strategy, Marketing and Collaboration, Invest Ottawa, Bayview Yards and Area X.O | Women of Inspiration™ Economic Empowerment Award
