Call for nominations: Women of the Future Awards SE Asia 2020
We are delighted to be holding our third Women of the Future Awards Southeast Asia in March 2020. The awards will once again aim to build a platform to showcase regional emerging leaders – those who those who are not afraid to question stereotypes, break boundaries and drive positive change with courage, hard work and determination.
This initiative is an integral part of our vision to build a global, collaborative network of women. We believe the strength of our brand in the UK, as well as our expertise and experience means that we are in a strong position to positively impact different regions through our programme. So why Asia for our first awards outside of the UK?
Talent shortages are more widespread in Asia than any other region – more than 48% of Asia pacific employees say that talent shortages are posing difficulties in the hiring process. Tapping into under-utilised talent pools is crucial in order to ease the talent shortage in Asia – Women as a demographic group represent an extremely large untapped resource. We believe that the WOF programme can encourage, motivate and provide role models to inspire and strengthen the female talent pipeline and in the process create a global community of supportive and collaborative women.
We want to unearth the incredible female talent in S.E Asia. We are seeking stories from achievers in all fields from arts & culture, to science & technology, to media, to property. Nominations for the Awards will open 22nd July 2019. Nominations will close on October 2nd, 2019. All nominations are reviewed by the shortlist committee and five candidates per category will be shortlisted for the 2020 awards. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a judging day on November 27th in Singapore for a short interview with their category judges. The winners will be announced at the gala dinner at the Hilton Singapore on March 18th, 2020.
