Empowering Women's Leadership at Omega World Travel: Beyond March

Omega World Travel's Commitment to Women's Leadership

Omega World Travel recently marked a significant event in the celebration of women's contributions to the business world. On March 8, they hosted the Entrepreneurs of Purpose retreat dinner at the prestigious Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. This gathering uniquely brought together women leaders in collaboration with the Women’s Business Collaborative (WBC), demonstrating Omega's ongoing commitment to empowering women beyond just Women's History Month.

In line with Mayor Muriel Bowser's initiative to honor the contributions of women, this event celebrated innovation and collaboration among female entrepreneurs. At Omega, there is a firm belief that women are key players in leading industries, fostering creativity, and driving change in sectors traditionally dominated by men. Gloria Bohan, the Founder and CEO of Omega, exemplifies this belief not only through her groundbreaking career but also in her efforts to pave the way for future generations of women in travel.

Under Bohan's leadership, Omega has become a beacon of women's empowerment in the travel industry. With nearly 75% of its workforce comprised of women, the company has cultivated an inclusive environment that champions female leadership at every level. Bohan's dedication extends beyond company walls; she founded the Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF), providing mentorship and networking opportunities tailored specifically for women in the industry. Her commitment has earned her recognition as a gender equality advocate, receiving accolades such as the ASTA Icon Award and being named the Champion of Women in Travel at the Northstar Travvy Awards.

Omega’s initiatives, however, don't cease with March. Their outreach and support for the next generation of female leaders are exhibited through partnerships with organizations like Junior Achievement and collaborations with the Enterprising Women Foundation. A noteworthy example of their commitment will be during the Enterprising Women of the Year Awards Celebration Conference, taking place from March 27-29, which will welcome 81 scholarship recipients from across the nation to Nashville—a critical event designed to inspire and promote leadership amongst young female entrepreneurs.

As women across various industries continue to assert their influence and reshape their sectors, Omega World Travel remains steadfast in its mission to support, inspire, and drive change. Their efforts ensure women's leadership is not merely acknowledged during Women's History Month but celebrated every day throughout the year.

Ultimately, Omega World Travel stands as a remarkable example of how a dedicated focus on women can lead to greater success and innovation in the travel industry. As the largest woman-owned travel management company in the U.S., Omega offers a comprehensive range of services including corporate, government, and nonprofit travel solutions. Their ventures extend to Cruise.com, a leading online cruise seller, and Travtech, which focuses on travel technology development, allowing Omega to maintain its competitive edge in the travel retail market.
