Selection Criteria - Honorees will be determined by:
- IMPACT: The
significance of an activity, program, or project the
nominee may have created, been part of, or have managed and how it
affected the quality of life of individuals and her constituency or community (in the
U.S.).
- INNOVATION: A strategy, project or activity that the nominee may have created, managed or
improved that has benefited the U.S. workplace or
FilAm community. Original

encouraged.
- INVOLVEMENT: Demonstrated example of how nominee has been involved with other people (U.S. based groups, businesses, government agencies, community members, etc.) in her activities.
- MENTORSHIP: Nominee's mentoring experience as a mentor (U.S. based). [A
mentorship is a supportive relationship established between two
individuals where knowledge, skills, and experience are shared. The
mentee is someone seeking guidance in developing specific competencies,
self-awareness, and skills in early intervention. The mentor is a
person who has expertise in the areas of need identified by the mentee
and is able to share their wisdom in a nurturing way.]
- SUSTAINABILITY: Nominee's efforts to ensure long-term sustainability of a project or activity that is U.S.-based (e.g., continue making positive impact, increase involvement
of constituents, use of resources, etc.).
- PROFESSIONALISM: Demonstrated example of nominee's professionalism (U.S. workplace example).
[Professionalism includes integrity, courtesy, honesty, and willing
compliance with the highest ethical standards. Professionalism goes
beyond observing a profession’s ethical rules: sensitively and fairly
serves the best interests of constituents, colleagues and the public.
Professionalism fosters respect and trust.]

2012 - identify the Filipina women who are shaping our community’s
influence in American society today and are impacting our future – and
double the number of Filipina leaders by 2012. This prestigious
