Please save the date! We would love for you to be with us.

 

Your nomination is important! You are one of a growing number of individuals supporting news media dedicated to ensuring women's voices are heard and their issues addressed. Women's voices are especially important during the upcoming elections-as well as whatever happens after November.

 

As an avid reader and supporter of Women's eNews we want to extend this invitation so you can nominate someone you know personally or professionally who has made a difference in the lives of women. If you know of a person who deserves worldwide recognition for the work they have done on behalf of women, please nominate them today.

 

21 Leaders for the 21^st Century honors people of all ages, heritages, countries, and professions who have made a positive impact on the lives of women. The annual Gala will be particularly elegant this year as Women's eNews' celebrates in New York City's fabulous Essex House, a grand and historic hotel on Central Park South.

 

Former 21 Leaders have embodied the breadth and depth of leadership on behalf of women worldwide--rom Baghdad to Vietnam, Rwanda to Afghanistan, from New York to San Francisco, from Wall Street trading floors to the union halls. The 21 Leaders have been athletes, corporate executives, philanthropists, religious leaders, and union organizers, They have initiated and led global business initiatives and hosted high-level invitation-only events for venture capitalists. They have organized their communities and stood up to elected officials. They have challenged sexual harassment in the workplace and have successfully advocated for women and girls. They are from all walks of life, all backgrounds-and share a commitment to women and made ground-breaking efforts to improve their lives. And yes, we honor men too-at least one each year.
