Women make a tremendous impact on what it means to live and work in Northwest Indiana, and they often do it without recognition. That’s the entire reason why this incredibly special awards banquet was founded – to honor and celebrate the game-changing women that shape almost every aspect of our companies and communities.

Before the Influential Women Awards Banquet was created, there was no single event in our region dedicated to celebrating the outstanding achievements of women. With each passing year, the event has grown and gained tremendous momentum. Powerful relationships and camaraderie have grown from this banquet, which eventually led to the creation of an entire association (NWIIWA) dedicated to carrying this spirit forward throughout the entire year.

You and your company’s involvement in this event is most welcome. If your organization supports the success of women in the workplace, NWIIWA encourages you to participate in the banquet and become engaged with the association’s mission to advance women across all industries and organizations.
