I feel exceptionally honored to be nominated for the Great Women Of Our Time Award by Singapore Women's Weekly .
This is an annual initiative to recognise excellence, leadership and performance in a new generation of women, all of whom they believe are leaders of tomorrow. To be nominated for the same award with these extraordinary women is truly a privilege and a dream come true for me.
I’m especially happy when I know that a few of my friends were also being nominated together with me for this award. I’m grateful to have them as my friends and I’m flattered to be nominated together with these outstanding women, many of whom have inspired me in my own journey.
I’m very fortunate to have won some other awards in the past, most of them to honor successful entrepreneurs. But, I feel extremely blessed to even be nominated for this award, because it honors me as a woman, something that I feel especially proud and grateful to be.
The Great Women of Our Time Award is a wonderful concept. While there are many other awards that recognize successful women, this special award honor outstanding women who are making significant contributions to society.
The panel of judges include: Member of Parliament, Denise Phua, Social Entrepreneur and past winner of the Great Women Of Our Time Awards Norma Sit, and editor-in-chief, The Singapore Women’s Weekly, Tara Barker.
