Started in 1999, the Women Who Mean Business Awards have been presented to individuals who are active in their professions, including business, law, medicine, education, hospitality, retail, media, insurance, banking, non-profits, public service, oil and gas, and more. In 2004, The Trailblazer Award was created to acknowledge retired or semi-retired women who paved the way for future generations. 

Nominations are open and run through Sunday, August 21, 2022, at midnight. The awards ceremony will be held on October 19 at 6:00 PM at Le Pavillon in Lafayette, La. Nominations are for women who have made a significant impact in their workplaces who reside and/or work in United Way of Acadiana’s service area, which includes Acadia, Lafayette, St. Martin, and Vermilion parishes. 

Do you know someone who excels in entrepreneurship, professionalism, civic involvement, or community leadership? Nominate them today at unitedwayofacadiana.org/wwmb2022. Sponsorship opportunities are available for the event.
