Fun Fact Friday: Did you know?

The women honored at the Most Influential Women Awards are nominated BY the community FIRST — then selected through a blind voting process by a committee. No favoritism. No politics. Just impact.

That means someone in OUR community looked at a woman in their life — a mentor, a neighbor, a colleague, a friend — and said "She deserves to be seen."

Someone who recognized her impact decided to make sure the world knew about it too. So they completed the nomination form and made it official.

That's the beauty of this award. The community brings light to her!

Nominations for MIW 2027 open in November — start thinking about who in YOUR circle deserves her flowers.

Behind every powerful movement is a group of women working behind the scenes making sure everything runs with excellence.

Thank you Shamila Beslow for being apart of the 2026 Committee!

Visionary. Strategist. Advocate. Leader.

Shamila doesn't just show up.... she shows up prepared, passionate, and purposeful. She brings strategy to the mission and heart to every detail. Because of women like her, the Most Influential Women Awards is a movement now.

The award ceremony was the BIG celebration... but the movement is just beginning.

The MIW Movement is year-round built on regional support for each other, shared opportunities, and the motivation to keep going even when it gets hard.

We don't just give out awards to women once a year. We pour into each other every single day.

Shamila, we see you. We honor you. And we are SO grateful you said yes to this mission. 🖤
