Shaping the Future: An Empire of Women Leaders.

25 Influential Women Leaders Awards

The 25 Influential Women Leaders Awards (25IWLA) shines a national spotlight on women across Guyana who are transforming communities, breaking barriers, and redefining what leadership looks like today.

Each year, the gala brings together more than 400 leaders from across Guyana and the diaspora, as well as partners working in Guyana’s public, private, nonprofit, and social impact sectors. It is a night of recognition, connection, and inspiration for executives, policymakers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers.

When women rise, Guyana grows.
