CBIZ Women's Advantage

CBIZ Women's Advantage (CWA)’s mission is simple: We are women helping women succeed in business. CWA helps create a competitive advantage for our women through professional training, development, mentorship, recognition, and career enhancement. We also bring these same elements to women in our business communities through a variety of educational and networking events as well as through our charitable initiatives.

Women Transforming Business Award

This award, powered by CBIZ Women’s Advantage, recognizes visionary women in business across the country for their success in advancing financial, cultural and innovational initiatives. The nominations we received in 2021 were awe-inspiring and beyond impressive. Finalists were announced on March 8, International Women’s Day, and our April celebratory event recognized these remarkable women and their accomplishments. We look forward to the WTBA becoming not only a platform – but a community – for women leading, innovating and truly transforming change.

Our Story
