SAN ANTONIO, TX, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Executive Women's Forum (EWF), a Diversified Search Group Company, is pleased to announce the 2024 Women of Influence (WOI), Corporate, and Allyship Awards finalists.

Every year, the EWF Women of Influence (WOI) Awards recognize five individuals in five categories for their outstanding achievements and leadership in our industry. The EWF Corporate Award is given to a company that promotes women and embraces gender inclusivity by creating internal programs that support women throughout their professional journey. The EWF Allyship Award recognizes the importance of allyship and ensures that the EWF, as a women’s organization, acknowledges and applauds executives supporting the women within their organizations.

Accenture and Avanade will present the 2024 WOI Awards, and the recipients and finalists will be honored at an in-person ceremony during the 2024 EWF Annual Conference, taking place Oct. 22-24 at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, TX. The Corporate and Allyship Awards are presented by the EWF. As in past years, this event will bring together nearly 700 women from diverse sectors to discuss critical issues in cybersecurity, privacy, risk management, and leadership.

EWF Founder Joyce Brocaglia stated: "Each year, I look forward to the opportunity to honor women who are making tremendous accomplishments in our industry and companies who are supporting the development and success of women professionals.
