• Identifying women leaders;
• Developing their leadership abilities;
• Encouraging the use of those abilities;
• Advancing women’s careers;
• Linking women leaders to other women and to mentors; and
• Supporting women as they pursue their professional aspirations

Award winners are announced and recognized at the Network’s conference.
