Smart Meetings Announces Winners of 2020 Smart Women in Meetings Awards
SAUSALITO, Calif., March 1, 2020 — Smart Meetings, the leading meetings industry publisher and voice of inspiration for meeting professionals, is proud to announce the winners of the fifth annual Smart Women in Meetings Awards. This prestigious awards program has come to serve as a celebrated achievement for leading women who are making a significant impact and elevating the meetings industry.
The global meetings business is predominantly female, but women’s representation in industry leadership roles lags. Smart Meetings, a woman-owned company, aims to empower women and support their professional advancement. Through this awards program, Smart Meetings recognizes women in all levels of their careers who inspire us with their aptitude, leadership skills and dedication to their work in the meetings industry.
The awards highlight the industry’s top female meeting professionals in seven prestigious categories including Hall of Fame, Visionaries, Industry Leaders, Innovators, Entrepreneurs, Stellar Performers and Rising Stars. These living muses were distinguished by thousands of nominations from their industry peers and colleagues, and evaluated against hundreds of remarkable, qualified meeting candidates. They earned top honors for their commitment and significant contributions to the meetings industry.
“As the leader of a Woman Owned business under the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the Smart Women in Meetings Awards are near and dear to my heart,” said Smart Meetings founder and CEO, Marin Bright. “It’s my honor to shine a light on the accomplishments of my fellow women in meetings and celebrate our progress together as one united community.”
