Meet the Awards Committee!
WIN launched the Awards Committee in January 2024 and in June announced its first awards program to celebrate champions:
Of gender equity
Driving research innovations
Excelling in Mentorship within the nutraceuticals sector
And significantly contributing to WIN’s programs
In an industry where innovation and leadership are key to advancement, recognizing the extraordinary contributions of individuals and organizations is crucial.
“While the people and companies that strive for gender parity don’t do it to win awards, they do it because it’s ethical and it’s good business, it’s satisfying to have the opportunity to honor them,” said Marketing & Communications, and Awards Committee member Suzanne Shelton, Shelton Group PR, Managing Partner.
From the relentless advocates who pave the way for future female leaders, to the visionary scientists advancing women's health through ground-breaking research, the WIN Awards seek to honor, uplift, and inspire the community by acknowledging the dedication, creativity, and impact of its most influential members.
“WIN Awards are here as a reminder that no good work goes unnoticed! To be able to recognize the contributions of people who have dedicated their career to the industry and uplifted others is incredible,” said Silvi Siddhu
This celebration of champions is not just awards; it's a testament to WIN's commitment to recognizing and amplifying the voices and achievements of women and their allies in the nutraceuticals industry.
