Woman of Stature Awards
PRESENTS THE WOMAN OF STATURE AWARDS 2020
Woman of Stature Gala Dinner is being postponed to 8th March 2020, the reason being that funding that would have come from fundraising, corporate and individual bookings, has not fully materialised. This has the potential to dishonour the awards, its purpose, our valued stakeholders and sponsors.
The significance of the 8th March is that it’s International Women’s Day and past Woman of Stature Awards have been hosted on this date. The event will still be held at the Indaba Hotel thanks to the management who support the decision and will honour their sponsorship of Kgotla which is their premium venue.
We now have additional months to strengthen relationships with stakeholders, sponsors and nominees and fully engage you as members in the process. The incentive for members to earn handsome commission still stands and is extended to the end of January 2020.
WHY is it important to support this initiative?
The Woman of Stature Awards is the primary fundraising event of the Woman of Stature Foundation. The foundation has been formed as an enabler of the Woman of Stature Social Responsibility Program through Enterprise Development Initiatives such as personal and professional development, mentoring and coaching to benefit previously and currently disadvantaged women. The Foundation will also provide a formal channel to procure sponsorship and funding required to subsidise significant Woman of Stature Foundation Charitable Events.
