Trader’s Magazine’s Wall Street Women Awards will be given in nine categories with honorees from the buyside and sellside selected in most categories.
Award categories are as follows:
Excellence in Leadership: Presented to a woman who demonstrates exemplary leadership and exceptional performance throughout her career. This individual, selected by the Advisory Committee, is such an outstanding professional that she qualifies for multiple award categories and is considered to be the standard bearer for women in the financial community.
Industry Trailblazers: This award is presented to high-performing Wall Street Women who broke the gender barrier when it came to trading and advancing up the career ladder on the buy and sell sides of the business. These trailblazers forged the opportunity for other women to become traders, managers and successful financial professionals.
