COMPLETING THE NOMINATION PROCESS

Congratulations on accepting your nomination for an award that could catapult you into growing alumni of Woman of Inspiration™ Award winners. Please note that completing the nomination process requires a significant personal commitment. Be sure to allow yourself a week or more to gather the relevant documents/attachments you will need.

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.

“Just being nominated for this award made me understand that “what you do really makes a difference, and as an individual, you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.  Without even realizing it, your impact is truly inspiring to others and that is the best recognition anyone can receive!  It really changes your perspective on what you will continue to accomplish going forward!” Deb Milimaka Miles – 2019 SupportHER Award Recipient

We recommend that you practice answering the questions in a word document and then copy and paste your answers when you are ready to proceed. Enjoy the journey!
