Tribute to Women Nomination Guidelines and Requirements

Application Guidelines:
The Selection Process:
Leading Bay Area companies submit nomination forms prior to the deadline for nominations. A panel comprised of former TWIN Honorees and prominent industry leaders will select the Honorees in a "blinded" selection process. A maximum of 55 qualified Honorees will be selected from the nominations received. Due to the large employee numbers of many Silicon Valley companies, a maximum of four Honorees may be selected per company, however, each must be from a different business unit or division. At the awards dinner, each Honoree is recognized individually, and her company is recognized for its support of the advancement of women within the organization. Company Host Requirements:
This event provides companies with a unique opportunity to publicly recognize an outstanding executive woman, while also supporting the local community. All companies that have an Honoree are expected to host a table (for 10) at the TWIN Awards dinner on May 20, 2010, for a minimum amount of $2,500 per Honoree. This is to recognize the company's Honoree and to support the fundraising activities and mission of the YWCA of Silicon Valley. Sponsorship Opportunities:
The Tribute to Women (TWIN) Awards dinner is attended by approximately 700 business people including top ranking officials of the most prominent Silicon Valley companies. Many companies extend their level of participation and visibility by becoming major event sponsors. Information regarding opportunities will be sent to companies following notification of Honoree selection.
