Be a Part of the Most Prestigious Awards Recognition for
Women Entrepreneurs

The Enterprising Women of the Year event is the magazine’s annual celebration of the world’s top women entrepreneurs. Nominations for this prestigious award are submitted each fall on the magazine’s Web site. The event draws heavy interest from the magazine’s readership and allows us to shine the spotlight on a remarkable group of outstanding women. The top organizations for women entrepreneurs partner with us to help ensure widespread support for this outstanding annual event.

The event is co-hosted by some of the country’s top corporations. It generates national media attention for the award winners and sponsoring companies who are a part of this very special event. Now in its eighth year, the program recognizes top women entrepreneurs in categories that include women business owners with revenues up to $1 million annually; over $1 million and up to $5 million; over $5 million and up to $10 million; over $10 million and up to $25 million; and over $25 million in annual revenues. We recognized 50 outstanding women at our 2009 awards event. We have also inducted 28 women into the Enterprising Women Hall of Fame over the past seven years and have presented a number of Advocacy Awards to nonprofit organizations and other advocates deserving of recognition.

To participate as a sponsor at our 2010 event, please call us at 919-362-1551 or e-mail msmiley@enterprisingwomen.com.
