GOLDEN NIKE


The criteria for the Golden Nike Award is similar to the Employer of the Year Award. If an L.O. implements both programs, it is suggested that the Employer of the Year be a business and the Golden Nike Award be an outstanding politician or individual of the community.

Each local organization should decide how it will select the Golden Nike recipient. Here are a few suggestions that might be useful in selecting an indibidual, a politician or a an employer as a Golden Nike recipient:

  • Outstanding efforts on behalf of women and support of BPW issues, such as pay equity, equal rights, etc.;
  • Assistance to women in the advancement of their careers;
  • Outstanding guidance to youth and young career women;
  • Community service.
