The Women in Business awards want you, especially if you’re an educator or student.

Nominations are being sought in a new educator category at the awards, which celebrate the achievements of local businesswomen and the differences they’ve made to the community.

The educator award recognizes an outstanding woman educator who shows dedication and inspires her students.

All nominees must be full-time educators.

The awards also celebrate up and coming women in the world of business with a nod to female post-secondary students in business, marketing and event management programs, who are leaders in their discipline. Nominees must be full-time students.

This is the 12th year for the annual awards. Judges consider success in role model experience, community contributions and community recognition among other criteria in five categories.

Nominations are due Monday, Dec. 10 and can be returned to the St. Catharines Standard, Niagara Falls Review or Welland Tribune offices.

The awards will be handed out at a ceremony in February.
