Catalyst Award
Honoring Excellence
The Catalyst Award annually honors innovative organizational approaches with proven, measurable results that address the recruitment, development, and advancement of all women, including women of color.
Catalyst’s rigorous, year-long examination of initiatives culminates in intensive on-site evaluations at select organizations. Catalyst assesses a range of strategic approaches related to women's advancement in the workplace. Discrete, specific efforts as well as broad initiatives, such as those that facilitate cultural change, are considered. By recognizing, sharing, and celebrating successful initiatives, Catalyst provides organizations with replicable models to help them create initiatives that are good for women and good for business.
Celebrating Success
Catalyst Award winners share their successful initiatives with Catalyst members, Award winners, and other like-minded organizations at the Catalyst Awards Conference, which is attended by more than 600 people from close to 200 organizations. Initiatives are also publicly celebrated at the Catalyst Awards Dinner, one of the most prestigious and broadly attended events in the business community.
Inspiring Change
Catalyst is honored to be associated with organizations whose innovative and pioneering initiatives have proven so powerful in making change. We look forward to many more years of progress and success, and we encourage you to consider your own organization’s efforts for building a better workplace for women and all employees.
