WE Awards Deadline Extended
To allow more time for some submissions and due to the current Covid situation, the deadline for the Women Empowerment Awards in China has been extended to April 15th.
We realize many have faced extra obstacles lately, personal and professional, and want to give nominees more time to complete the nomination form. We hope everyone is staying safe and that together we can celebrate the companies and leaders who are advancing gender equity in China!
Here are the nomination steps:
1. Go to womenempowermentcouncil.com/we-awards-2022
2. Review the criteria for the category
3. Scroll to the bottom of the criteria section and review the nomination questions
4. Start drafting your answers (note the 4,000 character limit)
5. Submit your answers to the questions on the official Nomination Form, which can be found on the WEC website
*Kindly note that all nominations will be considered based on merit rather than quantity, so there is no need to submit more than one nomination form per nominee. Our consultant will follow up with nominees to fill in gaps as needed.
