2021 Phyllis Goldman Encouragement Award for Women
NOMINATION FORM
The Phyllis Goldman Encouragement Award is given in honor and memory of Phyllis Goldman, a local businesswoman. Phyllis inspired women to stretch themselves beyond society’s norms and expectations by following their dreams and hearts as they pursue a career and redirected their life paths.
This award recognizes women in our community who have demonstrated noteworthy entrepreneurial and professional pursuits, who are committed to community and have served as a role model for other women and girls pursuing their career dreams. The award, presented at the Chamber Awards Luncheon (May 6, 2020), recognizes a woman who owns (or is a majority owner of) a for-profit business and who inspires and mentors other women to do the same.
To be considered, it should be shown that the nominee:
♦ has acted as a role model for women and girls pursuing their career dreams. ♦ has demonstrated significant entrepreneurial leadership in a for-profit business. ♦ owns or has owned a business that has demonstrated “staying power” and positive response to adversity in a changing business environment. ♦ owns or has owned a business that has demonstrated community involvement and commitment to women-related community projects.
Nominees must be living at the time of nomination and must have owned a business within the last 7 years. Nominees need not be Chamber members; directors of non-profits are not eligible.
Nominations must be received by Friday, March 26, 2021 for consideration.
