Nominate a Woman Worth Watching


We have exciting news for companies committed to gender diversity, and we want you to be part of this celebration. Profiles in Diversity Journal invites you to participate in our 11th Annual Women Worth Watching® special celebration issue by nominating one of your most influential senior women executives. This special September-October issue will showcase her commitment and achievements; but, more importantly, it will bring international acclaim to your company for promoting women leadership within your ranks.

Nearly a thousand women have been featured in the past! They come from hundreds of the most prestigious Fortune 500 companies, world-class educational institutions, the military and nonprofit organizations of every type. In short, you would be proud to be counted among these fine organizations.

We publish this special celebration issue annually because:

  • embracing gender diversity and inclusion in leadership positions isn’t just the “right thing to do,” it’s a strategic business imperative for all organizations;
  • women bring a perspective that is often missing among male-dominated senior managers;
  • studies prove that better leadership and performance result from having women in leadership positions;
  • executive women leaders are trailblazers and role models for their organizations;
  • women are eager to mentor younger women, deepening the talent pool throughout the organization;
  • the women featured in this special issue each year are an inspiration to other women and the next generation of leaders; and
  • women leaders bring a deep sense of passion and empathy to any organization.

If your nominee is selected to participate, she will be provided with a full-page in the issue and online to write about her personal and professional contributions, achievements and leadership skills. Our readers will get to know her as an individual and role model, and for inspiring others to break new ground within their organization and rise to the top. In addition, your organization will be proud to be part of this special issue. It’s one you’ll want to share with your employees, board of directors, key stakeholders and others. It will also show that your company supports the advancement of women in executive leadership.
