Rachael Ashfield, ifm, Women in Industry Ambassador said the WII Awards are an opportunity to highlight the inspirational work being done by trailblazers across the nation.
“Women bring alternative viewpoints and experiences to a business which often fosters creativity and change. Yet the career pathway for women can be quite challenging, especially in an industry that is not highly represented by women. The Women in Industry Awards give you an opportunity to highlight key aspects and career defining moments of your many years of success and dedication,” Ashfield said.
Nominating is free, and must be completed using the online form below by 11:59pm Wednesday 22 July 2022.
