Nominate someone for the 2017 
Christi Anderson Personal Innovation Award 
 


Last year at our conference we introduced The Christi Anderson Personal Innovation Award - a scholarship in honor of Christi Anderson, an IWL Board Member who left us too soon. Christi was passionate about helping other women in leadership and we honor Christi by awarding this scholarship every year to a woman who is looking to innovate herself, to be better and do better - just like Christi did, and who could benefit from the financial assistance to do so. What better way to honor a life than to affect change in another's?

If you know of someone you believe would benefit from this $2,500 scholarship and is someone of character with the same motivation of helping others and pursuing her dreams, please nominate them using this nomination form.

We will be taking nominations now through July 29th, 2016. The Christi Anderson Personal Innovation Award winner will be invited to attend our IWL Women's Leadership Conference on August 23, 2016 at the Indianapolis Marriott East and will be recognized on stage. For more information about the award please visit our website. Also hear from our 2015 Award Winner, Laura Apple, about what this scholarship means to her.

IWL Blog Highlight: Network Before You Need It: Networking Saves Lives
by, Diane Bailey-Boulet, Inclusion & Diversity Program Manager, Humana




How do you think about networking? Do you enjoy it? Or do you see it as a somewhat distasteful but necessary part of professional life? What if I told that cultivating your networking abilities can literally save lives? 

I'm a Bostonian, so I'm sharing a story that I think is relevant: The aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings highlights why networking-especially before you need it- is so important.

The survival rate for emergency room admissions was 100%

Tragically, three people died where the bombs were detonated. Hundreds more were rushed to Boston's hospitals after the bombings. Despite many horrific injuries, there was a 100% survival rate. This wasn't by chance.   Read more .
