Founded in 1999, everywoman has been at the forefront of the movement for gender

parity in the workplace. With 20 years experience uncovering untapped talent in an

organisation’s workforce, everywoman works with companies to provide a framework to

directly address gender diversity goals with shareholders, employees and customers.

We have had the privilege of building a community of over 100 corporate partners and a

network of over 25,000 women globally. Through our forums, awards and e-learning

platforms we provide education and inspiration across a wealth of industries.

In 2020 we are delighted to be launching a forum and awards programme to directly

address the needs of women working within the sport and fitness industries. We hope to

see you there.

About everywoman

#ewSportsAwards

everywomanAwards

Elevating and empowering

everywoman produces a leading suite of Awards bringing together current

industry leaders to recognise and celebrate the rising stars and leaders whose

contribution will secure their sector’s future success. The Awards provide a

platform for showcasing the ideas, innovation and resilience within every

woman.

Distinguished judges select from hundreds of nominations to narrow down the

outstanding talent of each industry. On Judging Day, all the finalists are

interviewed by the judges and a group deliberation selects the winners of

each category as well as a Woman of the Year.

Strategic objectives

• Give existing role models and male agents of change visibility and

impact within your organisation and the industry as a whole

• Position your company as a thought leader in gender diversity and a

leading employer of women

• Create new and deepen existing client relationships

• Connect with everywoman’s vast community of industry leaders

#ewSportsAwards

The sport industry in the UK contributes significantly to the economy,

generating an estimated annual revenue of £28 billion. However, despite a

growing industry workforce of more than 900,000, women remain under-

represented both within industry and on the playing field.

Given the importance of sports in the overall health and well-being of the UK

population, there is a lot of focus currently on the development of role models

and wider attraction and retention to encourage more women to get active.

Key to this is ensuring the industry itself represents its customers and that all

parts of the industry and the national governing bodies themselves, have more

than the 30% of women on the board currently estimated.

With this in mind, and with the aim of supporting the overall advancement of

women in sport, everywoman will be hosting an awards programme in 2020 that

will celebrate those stand out individuals moving the gender diversity agenda

forward – both on and off the field.

Introduction to theeverywoman in Sport Awards

Founders, Maxine Benson MBE and Karen Gill MBE#ewSportsAwards

‘You can’t be what you can’t see.’Role models are important – highlighting successful individuals leading the

way provides inspiration and success for all those that go after. The

everywoman in Sport Awards will celebrate individuals (both male and

female) who have achieved something extraordinary.

Nominated by their peers and assessed by an accomplished panel of judges,

the judging process will culminate in a star studded ceremony.

Progressive companies understand the value of creating opportunities to

learn from successful role models and build an influential, supportive

network.

While more women than ever are choosing to follow a career in the sports

industry, there is still work to be done when it comes to creating a culture

and foundation that supports growth and development. Supporting the

awards positions you as a leading brand, committed to creating an inclusive

industry that values diverse points of view.

The Awards process

#ewSportsAwards

Nominations

The nominations process opens the previous

year to any woman working in the sports

industry. Self-nomination is allowed and even

encouraged.

Once nominations close, all entries are

scored and a shortlist is drawn up. The

shortlisted are invited to Judging Day for a

face-to-face interview.

Shortlisted candidates are interviewed by a

judging panel comprised of industry pioneers

and thought leaders, who select finalists and

winners for each category.

Each candidate is scored based on their

contribution to their organisation, their

influence as a role model and their work in

promoting others in the industry.

Judging Day

The awards ceremony starts with a drinks

reception for all guests. During the Awards

dinner, winners from each category are

announced.

A final award is presented to the Woman of

the Year: this is a finalist selected by the

judging panel who they feel is an outstanding

role model who encourages more women to

choose a career in sports.
