Awards Nomination- Excellence in Mentorship

Mentorship is one of the most important leadership roles in the A/E/C industry. However, mentors are frequently overlooked and rarely rewarded. The PWC Excellence in Mentoring Award was created to acknowledge an outstanding professional who has been a positive role model for women in our industry. Mentors from any industry discipline (Architecture, engineering, construction, industry teachers, lawyers, industry marketing professionals, etc.) are eligible for this award.

It is anticipated that the recipient of this award will have a history of investing in the personal and professional development of individuals. In addition, they will have had a sustained career commitment to mentoring and a significant positive impact on their mentees’ careers.

For the purpose of this award, mentoring is defined as the process of guiding, supporting and promoting the career development of others. The key roles of a mentor should include but are not limited to: career development, professional guidance, professional integrity and positive role modeling.
