CanWIT Halifax: “The Rewards of Recognition: How to Put Yourself Forward”

Hosted by CanWIT Halifax and the Centre for Women in Business (CWB)

For women in business and those working in male-dominated sectors, in particular, award recognition provides a platform for visibility, credibility, and validation, which can help build your personal brand and grow your business.

Regardless of whether you are nominated for an award or win it, the action of putting forward your skills and accomplishments in a simple (or not so simple) application is a great way to reflect upon your successes and review where you want to go.

Join CanWIT and CWB for this interactive and informal session on “how to put yourself forward.” Learn from our panel of experts about award processes, tips for application success, and the rewards of receiving recognition through Awards programs.
