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 annual award program is powered by CBIZ Women’s Advantage and recognizes visionary women in business across the country for their success in advancing financial, cultural and innovational initiatives.
