Trailblazer Award

 

Trailblazer

The Trailblazer Award was created in 1994 to recognize a woman who was an influential community leader, was "the first” in her field, or made a significant contribution toward elevating the image of women in business.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to nominate an outstanding woman who not only represents great accomplishments in her field, but furthers the reputation of St. Louis Forum as a remarkable organization.  

The Trailblazer Award Committee and the St. Louis Forum Board of Directors invite you to submit a candidate who you feel deserves this special recognition and award.  While there are certainly many deserving candidates outside the membership, first consideration is given to St. Louis Forum members.  Nominations are accepted only from St. Louis Forum members.  St. Louis Forum members may submit their nominations online or via email to admin@stlforum.org with this form.
