The Woman of Stature Awards are run with utmost integrity and ethics. Once you are nominated for the awards, there is a thorough administration process of screening the nominee, conducting due diligence, approving the nomination, adjudication and auditing the results. The adjudication panel are independent from the awards, they leaders of industry, past winners, and finalists.

This is a system we developed to bring credibility and a fair outcome for all parties involved.

The nomination fee helps with the costs associated with running such an ethical process.

The nominee is asked to support with fundraising as part of her contribution and set their own target. There are two special awards in addition to the category awards: Fundraiser of the Year for the most funds raised and Public Choice Award which is determined by a public voting system.
