The Distinguished Women Award was created 50 years ago to honor the enormous contributions of women. The award is a recognition of excellence where the recipients represent the very ideals Northwood instills in its students: commitment to free enterprise, the partnership of arts and business, and the management of global commerce. All honorees past and present serve as role models for Northwood University students.
When organizations and institutions connect to contribute toward the common good, they have the power to transform the marketplace for the better. This class of Distinguished Women exemplifies the Northwood Idea and embraces what it truly means to Go Make A Difference.
Northwood University bestows the tremendous honor of the Distinguished Woman Award over a multi-day celebration ending with a formal gala event where the members will receive a bronze medallion. The 2019 gala will be held at the Horizons Conference Center in Saginaw, Michigan on November 2, 2019.
