It recognises leaders and innovators who contribute to the development of the region’s future and chooses the best among them. There are seven award categories that will recognise and honour a young woman with 3-5 years of experience in an organisation that encourages diversity and inclusion.
Award applications are open till 20 July 2019. The symposium will focus on driving innovation through diversity with motivational speakers who will discuss the challenges and the need for diversity and inclusion.
