about the corporate award
Each year we recognize one corporation for their efforts in engaging, developing and promoting women in their organization. The EWF Corporate Award recognizes companies that champion women and demonstrate gender diversity with internal initiatives created to support women through the lifecycle of their career. Initiatives might include Employee Resource Groups, STEM initiatives to bring more women from school to the company, mentorship programs, internal development offerings, sponsorship, number of women promoted to first level leadership and the number of women advancing overall at that organization and within Info Sec, Privacy and Risk, unconscious bias training, requiring diverse slates of candidates and work flexibility options. Additionally, the EWF Corporate Award looks at the number of women in key positions and overall company performance.
about the allyship award
The EWF Allyship Award originated in 2021 in an effort to recognize the importance of allyship, and to make sure that we, as a women’s organization, acknowledge and applaud executives supporting the women within their organizations. Originally called the EWF Male Catalyst Award, we realize the importance of diversity and inclusivity when honoring those who strive to help women reach their highest potential. The EWF understands that allyship is critical when it comes to women succeeding in our heavily male-dominated field, and believes that those who ally themselves with the rising women in their organizations deserve recognition. The EWF Allyship Award is our way of celebrating those who help the women in their companies succeed.
