Women & Hi Tech exists to change the landscape of women represented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) and related Hi Tech fields to be equally inclusive to all. Women & Hi Tech hosts the biennial Leading Light Awards (LLA) to recognize women of achievement in STEM who have made great innovations in their hi tech industries, and have shown qualities of expertise, professionalism, leadership, service, courage, and tenacity as they have built their careers. We invite you to nominate passionate women in STEM, including diverse women, who exemplify these characteristics on a regular basis.
Leading Light Awards nominees and recipients must reside in Indiana. Although we look for impact and advancement in STEM in Indiana, consideration will be given to national and global impact and achievement as well.
Award applications must be submitted via the following form no later than 5pm EST on Monday, July 1, 2024.
Please mark your calendars now! The 2024 Leading Light Awards and Scholarship Gala will be held Thursday, October 3rd, 2024 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in downtown Indianapolis. This signature, biennial event by Women & Hi Tech focuses on celebrating Indiana women in STEM – women who are risk-takers, leaders, educators, mentors, and those who are changing our local STEM landscape. We look forward to an amazing evening of celebrating local women in STEM!
Applicants/Nominees must identify as female or with the pronouns she/her (“female nominees”). This award will honor a female nominee who has demonstrated exceptional and substantive achievements early in her professional STEM career, and who shows promise for future contributions.
