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 Awards

The third annual CBIZ Women Transforming Business Awards, powered by CBIZ’s Women's Advantage, honor leaders who have driven significant change within their organizations and communities in four categories: financial strength, innovation, culture and community impact.

The Women Transforming Business Award recognizes women who both excel in business and also inspire colleagues, peers and future generations of leaders. We celebrate businesswomen who overcome obstacles, see opportunities in the face of adversity and create organizational culture that breeds empathy, compels excellence, embraces authenticity, and motivates positive impacts.

Nominations for our 2023 awards are open now through January 31, 2023. To be inspired by past finalists and winners, check out last year’s Women Transforming Business Award virtual celebration here.
