POW! Awards Hall of Fame

POW! Award winners surmount challenges, break down barriers, spark innovation and bringing the "POW!" factor to everything they do. – Elisabeth Marchant, Founder & CEO, Womenetics

Each year Womenetics presents the POW! Award to super-achievers who leverage their positions of influence to forge new paths in business or bring a business approach to nonprofits. These are female leaders of extraordinary purpose and impact, recognized not only for a high level of transformative success, but for the change they incite in the community with respected, significant contributions locally or globally. POW! Honorees are women known for their sustained abilities to lead and adapt; innovate and create; collaborate and advance, while inspiring and supporting the women around her.
