Thursday, 05 September 2024: Nominations are open for The Women in Golf Awards, an annual event in the UK which as well as recognising the contribution of women in the UK also has an international category, sponsored for the third consecutive year by Perry Ellis International. Previous winners include former Secretary of the AGIF and Regional Sales Director APAC at Textron Karen Proctor, CEO of the WPGA of Australia Karen Lunn and founder of Women’s Golf Day Elisa Gaudet.
The International Woman Award, sponsored by Perry Ellis, is presented to a woman working outside of the UK who has made a significant contribution to the part of industry in which they work. Nominations will be accepted for any discipline and should detail their achievements in the last year and across their career. The judges are looking for women who demonstrate leadership and use their profile to elevate women in their region.
“It is incredibly important that we look beyond our borders to learn from the successful women working in golf outside of the UK,” comments founder of the Women in Golf Awards, Nicole Wheatley, “The previous winners are incredible women who have enjoyed fantastic careers and have certainly inspired me. It has been a privilege to share their stories, and I am looking forward to learning about this year’s nominees.”
On November 27th women - and men - from across the industry will be heading to Foxhills in Surrey, UK to congratulate the winners of this year’s Women in Golf Awards. Nominations can be made on www.womeningolfawards.co.uk until midnight on September 30th.
