2024 Excellence Awards: Celebrating Women's Leadership And Innovation
Empowering women to reach their fullest potential is at the heart of Gulf News and Being She's newest initiative: the 2024 Excellence Awards. The annual awards ceremony, set for June 8 (Saturday), is not just about celebrating success. It is about igniting a new era of recognition for exceptional women in the UAE and beyond.
The event, hosted at the iconic Museum of Future, seeks to honour women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, and resilience in their respective fields. Through their dedication and passion, these leaders have shattered glass ceilings and inspired countless others to strive for greatness.
Categories and Nominations
In its fourth year, the Excellence Awards will feature 12 major categories spanning business and professional realms. Women can select subcategories based on their expertise and apply for nominations. "I believe in championing the cause for feminism and equality," says Aparna Bajpai, founder of Being She.
“Excellence Awards 2024 deserves a special mention as it's a cause close to my heart and an initiative I have forged ahead without any commercial benefits attached to it," Bajpai adds. The event comprises two segments: one honouring leading women of excellence and the other recognising rising talents through a social media campaign.
Honouring Exceptional Women
More than 40 exceptional women will be honoured, with attendees including government officials, advisers to the royal family, media, and business leaders. All winners will be featured in a collector's edition coffee book published by Gulf News in association with Being She after the event.
"The Excellence Awards 2024 isn't just about recognising achievement; it's about affirming our collective commitment to championing the extraordinary contributions of women," says David George, Publisher, Gulf News Commercial, co-organiser of the event.
Partnership for Inclusivity
Gulf News announced a partnership with Being She in March to create inclusive events and opportunities for women of all ages, professions, and backgrounds. This collaboration aims to recognise the unique perspectives and contributions women bring to society.
While the event recognised 40 winners in 2022, last year's edition feted 42 winners across various sectors, including Business, Arts, Corporate, Philanthropy, Media, Human Resources, Wellness, Health, Sports, and Fitness.
