The nominations are in for the upcoming Mountain View and Neighbours Women in Business Awards.
According to Volunteer Coordinator Debora Rice-Salomons, they were just thrilled with the support of the community for the deserving women in all six award categories with a total of 79 nominations coming in. She says “Clearwater County, out in our west country, they had 6 nominations. Whereas, Kneehill – including Three Hills and Trochu – had 8. Mountain View County really came in strong with 25 nominees from the County itself, then 10 on top of that from Olds, 6 from Carstairs, 6 from Sundre for a total of 47 in the Mountain View County and area.”
61 individual women were nominated for awards with some of them being nominated multiple times or in multiple categories. Rice-Salomons says “8 Women in Agriculture, 22 Women in Business For Profit, 9 Women in Business Not-For-Profit, 4 Women in Energy, and 14 – the crowning jewel – Woman of Influence. So a really nice mix of industry and a really nice mix across our three counties and all the towns and villages within.” She was also excited that they had 7 for the new category of Rising Star – Young Woman.
