SCOTTISH women in business is marking its 25th anniversary by inviting nominations for Scotland’s Celebrating Women Awards.
The president of the nationwide networking forum, Laura McKinnon, said: “What better way to celebrate our 25th anniversary than by celebrating Scotland’s hard-working and talented women from across all professions, including the public and private sector, and Scotland’s many charitable organisations, who work tirelessly to achieve great results?”
SWIB categories for nomination include an award for best communicator, collaborator, innovator and a Young Star award.
SWIB vice president, Teresa Jackson, said: “The five public award categories distinguish our core values within the women-in-business networking forum that have led to our 25-year success.”
Voting ends on March 17 and details can be found at www.celebratingwomen.co.uk.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
