Welcome to the 2014 Stevie
В®
Awards for Women in Business.
For the first 10 years of this program our awards dinners filled the cozy Astor Ballroom on
the seventh floor of this Marriott Marquis Hotel. This year we’ve moved to the big ballroom,
the Broadway, one of the biggest ballrooms in New York City. It’s appropriate that you will
now be recognized on the big stage, because your achievements are outsized. Again this year
the judges marveled at the extraordinary, inspiring accomplishments of you Finalists and your
organizations. Congratulations again on your success!
This year’s Stevie Awards for Women in Business received more than 1,200 entries from
individuals and organizations in 22 nations. More than 160 professionals around the world
participated in the judging process in September – October. The average scores of preliminary
judges determined the Finalists. The Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award placements that
will be revealed tonight were determined by the members of five final judging committees in
late October. All judges are acknowledged in this program.
At the conclusion of tonight’s ceremony we’ll present Grand Stevie Award trophies to the
five organizations that submitted the best body of entries to this year’s competition — be sure
to stay till the end!
I invite you to stay abreast of what’s new in the world of Stevie at our web site,
StevieAwards.com, and through our presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
Thank you for coming tonight. I know you’ll enjoy yourself!
Cordially,
Michael Gallagher
President
