Nominations for the Medicine Hat’s 12th annual Inspire Awards due this week

Apr 8, 2024 | 5:23 PM

The window to nominate a woman in the community for the 12th annual Inspire Awards closes this week.

Nominees are contacted to provide more information.

Afterwards, a panel composed of five independent community members decide that year’s winner.

Vice-chair Joleine Martineau said that the awards brings the community together and recognizes names that might be working behind the scenes.

“Sometimes women are a little left on the back-burner a little bit, especially in some of the industry’s in town” Martineau said.

“It’s very important that these women get acknowledged and receive the merit they deserve.”

Past Inspire winners include Medicine Hat College’s Community Engagement Director Jennifer Kerslake, Amber Hansen from Our Collective Journey and local farmer Nicole Neubauer.

You can nominate by visiting the Women in Business website.

Award winners will be announced June 7th.
