Governor Walker, Lieutenant Governor Kleefisch, and the Wisconsin Women’s council are seeking nominations for the 2012 Governor’s Trailblazer Awards for Women in Business.
This award is designed to acknowledge the lasting economic impact provided by women who brought their vision to the marketplace at a time when there were few role models and resources to do so. These entrepreneurs created businesses that have supported families, anchored communities, and carved a path for women business owners today.
Award categories include the Business Pioneer Awards honoring businesses with sole or majority ownership by a woman, or series of women, for 25 years or more; and Torchbearer Awards honoring family-owned businesses that are currently run by a female relative of the founder and have been in operation for three generations or more.
The online nomination form, eligibility guidelines and information on past award winners are available on the Women’s Council we site at www.womenscouncil.wi.gov or contact the Women’s Council at (608) 266-2219. Nominations must be submitted by November 18, 2011.
