Tuesday, December 06 2011

Atlanta, GA (December 6, 2011) – Nominations of leading Georgia women impacting business and society are now being accepted for the 2012 POW! Awards. Womenetics and Porsche Cars North America annually present the awards to honor purposeful women and identify exemplary female leaders of extraordinary intention and impact.

“Women who are POW! Award winners are those key 'forces-of-nature' who change the landscape of business or bring a business approach to non-profits --- women who trigger change from within as they challenge the status quo both in business and society,” said Elisabeth Marchant, CEO of Womenetics. “Fresh ideas and the ability to inspire and put them at the forefront. These women are about dynamic growth; they transform vision into the language of action. They surmount challenges, break down barriers, spark innovation and attain success in the workplace and the community. They bring the ’POW!’ factor to everything they do.”

The community is invited to tell Womenetics and Porsche Cars North America about women who positively challenge those around them and instill passion, conviction and confidence in others.

“The POW! Awards symbolize today's purposeful woman who finds creative ways to overcome obstacles and weave together key stakeholders,” explained Detlev von Platen, president and chief executive officer of Porsche Cars North America. “She is known for her remarkable abilities to lead and adapt; innovate and create; collaborate, inspire and advance. Porsche’s hallmark is ‘intelligent performance,’ which is the exact quality POW! Award winners exhibit in every aspect of their lives.”

The third annual Georgia awards event will be held on April 17, 2012 at the Georgia Aquarium. Winners must be able to attend the event to be eligible. Nominations are being accepted electronically through http://www.womenetics.com/Ways-to-Engage. All nominations must be submitted by January 9, 2012. Winners will be announced in February.
