The Power to Make a Difference Awards
Recognizing BPW International’s contributions through Leadership, Advocacy, and Action: members and affiliates whose work helps women help themselves.
About the Award
Formerly “Beyond 2000: Helping Women Help Themselves”, renamed in 2008
BPW Power to Make a Difference Awards was formerly called “Beyond 2000: Helping Women Help Themselves” awards. The original mandate was to recognize BPW projects that help women to sustain themselves in the long run. Giving out money is not allowed, but other things like offer skill training, give advise, time, opportunities, etc.
The competition name was changed in 2008 at Mexico City Congress in order to more comprehensively recognized and honor BPW International’s contribution through Leadership, Advocacy and Action. The project also allows contribution to the environment to count as “Action” that would help women.
