Women of Impact Nomination Program
Call for 2027 Nominations
We know that true excellence comes when every woman’s voice is heard, valued, and celebrated. That’s why we are thrilled to enhance our Women of Impact Nomination Program - a powerful opportunity to shine a light on women who are shaping our communities and paving the way for others.
With the support of our generous sponsors, this program is designed to open doors for women whose voices may not always have been at the table but whose contributions are transforming the world around us. Together, we are building an inclusive event that reflects the incredible diversity and strength of Winnipeg’s women leaders.

This isn’t just about attending an event—it’s about investing in yourself, embracing leadership, and joining a movement of women who are ready to rise, inspire, and lead.
Nominate an incredible female-identifying business leader today and help us celebrate the power, resilience, and brilliance of women in business.
