Career Achievement Award
The Career Achievement Award Program, sponsored each year by AWN, honors women who have achieved a major career advancement or recognition in their profession within the preceding calendar year. The program was initiated in 1981 to honor women and encourage them to seek higher career goals. It is a way to recognize firms / organizations which support and promote women.
Friends, colleagues, and business people throughout the area are invited to the reception held in the spring each year. The women receiving these awards are an inspiration to their peers as well as to students and mentees.
