Women of Influence+ Expands into the U.S. with Inaugural Awards

Women of Influence+, a prominent global organization dedicated to promoting women's leadership and workplace equity, is set to take a significant step forward by launching its inaugural Top 25 Women of Influence+ Awards in the United States. Scheduled for September 16, 2025, this prestigious event will take place at the luxurious Park Hyatt in New York City.

This awards ceremony aims to honor 25 exceptional women who have not only made individual contributions to their fields but have also driven systemic change across institutions, policies, and industries. The honorees will include a diverse mix of community leaders, entrepreneurs, and strategic visionaries whose efforts have turned initiatives into movements, setting new standards for success along the way. Their influence can be seen in cultural campaigns, policy changes that advocate for equity, and the growth of businesses that successfully blend social impact with profitability.

According to Maricel Dicion, Managing Director of Women of Influence+, women's leadership is much more than an ideal; it represents a powerful force that shapes economies, policies, and cultural discussions. As industries and institutions address representation issues, the Top 25 Women of Influence+ Awards serve both as a celebration of women's achievements and as a call to action. Recognition holds significant power—power to amplify leadership, foster opportunities, and inspire change. By celebrating these remarkable women, the organization seeks to redefine what leadership should entail and encourage a broader understanding of it.

A Shift in Power Dynamics

For over 30 years, Women of Influence+ has led the charge in advocating for leadership equity, creating platforms that enhance women's visibility and influence across various sectors. With a robust network comprising over one million business leaders and professionals, the organization has played a crucial role in reshaping workplace policies, driving economic inclusion, and promoting meaningful connections among leaders.

As Women of Influence+ expands its impact into the U.S., the timing is noteworthy given the current historic economic shifts. Research by McKinsey & Company predicts that by 2030, women will control more than half of the world's wealth, significantly affecting financial decision-making, corporate management, and investment strategies. Women are increasingly becoming a driving force in consumer markets and policy influence.

For companies looking to navigate this evolving landscape, prioritizing inclusive leadership is not merely an issue of fairness; it’s a strategic advantage that can drive sustainable growth.

Recognizing Transformational Leadership

Women of Influence+ is actively seeking nominations for leaders who are committed to creating measurable impacts and steering the future of leadership. The nomination process will spotlight those whose influence facilitates systemic change throughout various industries, communities, and policy frameworks.

Nominations will be accepted starting May 6, 2025, and interested individuals are encouraged to visit the organization's website for updates and additional details about the awards process.
