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.
Be sure the press is aware that the presentation is being made
and of the final candidates

the press of the time and place
of the event, and be sure to make follow-up phone calls
to the press a day or two before the
event.
