Now is your chance to showcase your brand as a champion of Aboriginal Women’s success

The Idea Connector Network is looking across Canada for TEN Aboriginal women or girls who are making or have made a difference in other peoples’ lives.

The Idea Connector Network (ICN) has realized over the years that there are many remarkable successes and accomplishments among Canada’s Aboriginal peoples.  However, Aboriginal women’s success stories often remain hidden.

On Tuesday, November 8 2016 ICN and its e-magazine Aboriginal Women’s Economic Quarterly will celebrate the achievements of strong Aboriginal female leaders. Ten women and girls from across Canada will be recognized for making a significant positive difference in the lives of others.

The Award Winners will include women from all walks of life. Winners may include businesswomen, bureaucrats, teachers, the professions, academia, science, social services, medicine, among others. They may be employed by large or small corporations “Aboriginal or not)” public sector organizations, the not-for-profit sector, or they may be volunteers or students. What the Award winners will have in common is their strong contribution to their organizations, their fields of endeavor and/or their communities.
