ASWA Opens Nominations for Awards
Celebrate Influential Women in the Accounting, Finance Industries and Promote Companies that Support Work/Life Balance and Financial Literacy Volunteers
Jun. 04, 2009
The American Society of Women Accountants Educational Foundation (The Foundation)
Awards, sponsored by Accountemps and Robert Half Finance & Accounting, provide
recognition to individuals, companies and groups in the areas of Accounting
and Finance expertise, work/life balance and financial literacy.
Do your professional accomplishments and achievements distinguish you in the
financial industry? Have you demonstrated leadership and mentored others? Are
you committed and involved in your community? Do you know anyone else who fits
the description above? If so, you or someone you know may be eligible for one
of the ASWA Educational Foundation’s several Influential Woman of the
Year Awards. We will be selecting six regional winners in this category who
will then be nominated for the national Influential Woman of the Year Award.
And don’t forget to consider your company for a Balance Award! Does your
company demonstrate sensitivity to women? Does it provide leadership and mentoring
opportunities for women? Does your company show concern for financial issues
facing its community? Has it implemented policies, initiatives and programs
that promote work-life balance? If your company or one that you know of demonstrates
these outstanding qualities, they are eligible for one of the Foundation’s
Balance Awards.
And new this year is the Financial Literacy Award which will recognize an individual
or group that has supported their community by teaching a Financial Literacy
program.
Nominate yourself, a colleague, your firm or a group of financial literacy
providers by filling out the “Call for Award Nominees” form. The
deadline to apply is June 30th.
