TOP Corporations Awards
Event Details
Greater Women’s Business Council’s GWBC TOP Corporations of the Year Awards are a living testimonial to the work of our constituency and the organization. These awards honor leading corporations who have demonstrated a solid commitment and passion for engaging and empowering women business enterprises (WBE). Corporate honorees represent “best in class innovators” in supplier diversity and procurement.
TOP Corporations of the Year Awards are unique, because each Honoree’s story is presented through the voice and experience of the WBE whose business the Awardee has impacted.
