25 Women In Leadership

The Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce, The Marketeer Magazine, and WEEK are proud to bring you the 9th Annual 25 Women in Leadership Award.

The prestigious 25 Women in Leadership Award is designed to recognize women of all ages from the young to the mature, all races and religions, who have demonstrated unswerving dedication to the betterment of themselves, their family, their company, and their community at large. A nominee could be anyone, from a high school student who has organized an anti-drug campaign, to a health care provider who has excelled within her field. The real test of a nominee's eligibility can be measured by the care she gives to her work, her mission, or to others even when a myriad of demands and commitments are swirling around her. These are 25 women who have gone beyond the norm to excel and provide leadership and example for all who know them.

A special appointed committee of community and business leaders will judge all nominees. Judging will be based upon the ability of the nominator to articulate, with specific examples and information, the reasons why the nominee should be considered based upon the above criteria. Nominations will be accepted through June 5, 2009.
