WOW Women of Arvada

Women’s History Month is celebrated annually in March to highlight women’s achievements and promote gender equality across the globe. The month corresponds with International Women’s Day on March 8, a day of education, empowerment, and action. This year’s IWD theme is #AccelerateAction.

For the fifth year, the Greater Arvada Chamber is leading a celebration of Arvada women leaders all month long. Formerly Badass Women of Arvada, WOW Women of Arvada will also include an exclusive networking event for those recognized. 

To nominate yourself or someone else, please fill out the form below! Feel free to submit multiple nominations. We are looking for business owners, executives, rising stars, pioneers, badass norm-breakers, entrepreneurs, inventors, influencers, and other leaders in Arvada. Those nominated will be sent a brief form to complete as well.

Nominations are closed!

 

Thank you to our 2025 WOW Women sponsor!
